-------------------------------------
_== the reserve operation might want to reserve just a bit and needs to wait
for a couple of cleaners ==_
I agree with this.
_== System.gc(), which is almost noop hint ==_
For this I have some doubts. {{System.gc()}} is indeed just a hint, but we
cannot make sure when the GC will happen after this method is called. It is
possible that GC happens immediately after the call. I think we should only
call {{System.gc()}} when {{tryRunPendingCleaners}} returns false, otherwise
there are still pending cleaners and there is no need to hint for another GC.
I've added some logs before calling {{System.gc()}} in the infinite loop, and
there are obvious gaps which are caused by full GCs.

> UnsafeMemoryBudget#verifyEmpty, called on slot freeing, needs time to wait on
> GC of all allocated/released managed memory. If there are a lot of segments
> to GC then it can take time to finish the check. If slot freeing happens in
> RPC thread, the GC waiting can block it and TM risks to miss its heartbeat.
