[SPARK-23779][SQL] TaskMemoryManager and UnsafeSorter related classes use MemoryBlock ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR tries to use `MemoryBlock` in `TaskMemoryManager` and `UnsafeSorter` related classes. There are two advantages to use `MemoryBlock`. 1. Has clean API calls rather than using a Java array or `PlatformMemory` 2. Improve runtime performance of memory access instead of using `Object` with `Platform.get/put...`. ## How was this patch tested?
