Backport of #58978 to release/6.0

/cc @lambdageek

Customer Impact

Fixes #58957

User programs on ios devices that use System.Text.Json to serialize large structs may crash during CC.

Corrects a GC hole introduced by #58364 which was a fix for #58190.

Testing

CI and manual testing.

Risk

Low. The logic is the same, except instead of using dynamic heap allocation we use alloca to heap allocate the return vlaue buffer.
