We introduce a new strategy to track how many bytes are not released because of the contraint of release interval. This will change the `TryReleaseThreshold` adaptively so that we avoid releasing the same pages multiple times (and wasting time on the case of no pages to release).
On Android, the number of release attempts decreases 33% (572 to 382) and the worst case drops from 251 to 33. At the same time, it maintains almost the same RSS usage (with some improvements as well).
Note that in this CL, this is only applied to non small blocks. We will bring the strategy to all the size classes later.

Subject: [PATCH] [scudo] Reduce unsuccessful attempts of page releasing
We introduce a new strategy to track how many bytes are not released
because of the contraint of release interval. This will change the
`TryReleaseThreshold` adaptively so that we avoid releasing the same
pages multiple times (and wasting time on the case of no pages to
release).
On Android, the number of release attempts decreases 33% (572 to 382)
and the worst case drops from 251 to 33. At the same time, it maintains
almost the same RSS usage (with some improvements as well).
Note that in this CL, this is only applied to non small blocks. We will
bring the strategy to all the size classes later.
