* Clear affine slots when dropping a `Module`
This commit implements a resource usage optimization for Wasmtime with
the pooling instance allocator by ensuring that when a `Module` is
dropped its backing virtual memory mappings are all removed. Currently
when a `Module` is dropped it releases a strong reference to its
internal memory image but the memory image may stick around in
individual pooling instance allocator slots. When using the `Random`
allocation strategy, for example, this means that the memory images
could stick around for a long time.
While not a pressing issue this has resource usage implications for
Wasmtime. Namely removing a `Module` does not guarantee the memfd, if in
use for a memory image, is closed and deallocated within the kernel.
Unfortunately simply closing the memfd is not sufficient as well as the
mappings into the address space additionally all need to be removed for
the kernel to release the resources for the memfd. This means that to
release all kernel-level resources for a `Module` all slots which have
the memory image mapped in must have the slot reset.
This problem isn't particularly present when using the `NextAvailable`
allocation strategy since the number of lingering memfds is proportional
to the maximum concurrent size of wasm instances. With the `Random` and
`ReuseAffinity` strategies, however, it's much more prominent because
the number of lingering memfds can reach the total number of slots
available. This can appear as a leak of kernel-level memory which can
cause other system instability.
To fix this issue this commit adds necessary instrumentation to `Drop
for Module` to purge all references to the module in the pooling
instance allocator. All index allocation strategies now maintain
affinity tracking to ensure that regardless of the strategy in use a
module that is dropped will remove all its memory mappings. A new
allocation method was added to the index allocator for allocating an
index without setting affinity and only allocating affine slots. This is
used to iterate over all the affine slots without holding the global
index lock for an unnecessarily long time while mappings are removed.
