[FLINK-7499][io] also let AsynchronousBufferFileWriter#writeBlock() recycle the buffer in case of failures ## What is the purpose of the change `SpillableSubpartitionView#releaseMemory()` recycled the given buffer twice: once asynchronously after the write operation initiated via `AsynchronousBufferFileWriter#writeBlock()`and once in SpillableSubpartitionView#releaseMemory() after adding the write operation to the queue. Additionally, other uses of `AsynchronousBufferFileWriter#writeBlock()` did not cleanup in an error case which was also not done by `AsynchronousBufferFileWriter#writeBlock()` itself. This PR changes the behaviour of `AsynchronousBufferFileWriter#writeBlock()` to always take care of releasing the buffer, even adding the (asynchronous) write operation failed. ## Brief change log - let `AsynchronousBufferFileWriter#writeBlock()` take full recycling responsibility of the given buffer even in case of failures - remove the additional `recycle` call in `SpillableSubpartitionView#releaseMemory()` - adapt `SpillableSubpartitionTest` to find the duplicate `recycle()` calls ## Verifying this change This change added further checks to `SpillableSubpartitionTest` to verify the intended behaviour ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (yes) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?

It avoids code duplication of this cleanup and it is also more consistent to take over responsibility of the given buffer even if an exception is thrown. ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
