[SPARK-22083][CORE] Release locks in MemoryStore.evictBlocksToFreeSpace ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? MemoryStore.evictBlocksToFreeSpace acquires write locks for all the blocks it intends to evict up front. If there is a failure to evict blocks (eg., some failure dropping a block to disk), then we have to release the lock. Otherwise the lock is never released and an executor trying to get the lock will wait forever. ## How was this patch tested? Added unit test.
