Currently, when a new MR is set up, the old MR is deleted. MR deletion is about 30-40% the time of MR creation. As deleting the old MR is not important for the process of setting up the new MR, this operation can be postponed. This series adds a workqueue that does MR garbage collection at a later point. If the MR lock is taken, the handler will back off and reschedule. The exception during shutdown: then the handler must not postpone the work. Note that this is only a speculative optimization: if there is some mapping operation that is triggered while the garbage collector handler has the lock taken, this operation it will have to wait for the handler to finish.
