 * Name: sched_garbagecollection
 *
 * Description:
 *   Clean-up memory de-allocations that we queued because they could not
 *   be freed in that execution context (for example, if the memory was freed
 *   from an interrupt handler).
 *
 *   This logic may be called from the worker thread (see work_thread.c).
 *   If, however, CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE is not defined, then this logic will
 *   be called from the IDLE thread.  It is less optimal for the garbage
 *   collection to be called from the IDLE thread because it runs at a very
 *   low priority and could cause false memory out conditions.
 *
 * Input parameters:
 *   None
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   None
 *
