It looks like the ECMA spec is the only place that says the
class needs to be checked.  MS, Rotor, Mono, all suppress the
finalizer regardless of what class the caller belongs to.

Personally, I think the ECMA behaviour is correct, as it is
dangerous to allow foreign classes to change the finalization
policy of an object.  But I will remove the checks from pnet,
to be consistent with the other CLR implementations.
