Vulkan: Keep dynamic buffer's free list trimmed
ContextVk's staging buffer never gets a chance to free its free buffer
list. During application load time, a large amount of memory may be
allocated from this buffer to stage texture updates and they would
remain throughout the life of the application.
This change ensures that the free buffer list doesn't grow unbounded. In
the Manhattan trace, this saves >1GB of memory on Linux.
There are now three policies for vk::DynamicBuffer:
- Always reuse buffers: This is useful for dynamic buffers that make
frequent small allocations, such as default uniforms, driver uniforms,
default vertex attributes and UBO updates.
- Never reuse buffers: This is for situations where the buffer is
unlikely to be used after some initial usage, such as texture data
upload or vertex format emulation (as the conversion result is cached,
so it's never redone).
- Limited reuse of buffers: For the staging buffer in the context which
is shared by all immutable texture data uploads, it's useful to keep a
limited number of buffers (1 in this change) to support future texture
streaming while allowing a large number of buffers allocated in a
burst to be discarded.
