> Consider a scenario where storage memory usage has grown past the size of the 
> unevictable storage region ({{spark.memory.storageFraction}} * maxMemory) and 
> a task needs to acquire more execution memory by reclaiming evictable storage 
> memory. If the storage memory usage is less than maxMemory, then there's a 
> possibility that no storage blocks will be evicted. This is caused by how 
> {{MemoryStore.ensureFreeSpace()}} is called inside of 
> {{StorageMemoryPool.shrinkPoolToReclaimSpace()}}.
> Here's a failing regression test which demonstrates this bug:
