/cc @rxin @andrewor14, this is the next most important patch to review
towards off-heap caching. After these changes get in, we'll be able to use
off-heap memory for the unroll memory in off-heap caching, greatly simplifying
things. Without this change, the on-heap unroll array needs to be accounted
properly even if the final cache destination is off-heap, making the caching
more OOM-prone and complicating the accounting logic (since it then becomes
different between the two modes).
