* 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
*
