[SPARK-13122] Fix race condition in MemoryStore.unrollSafely()

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13122 A race condition can occur in MemoryStore's unrollSafely() method if two threads that return the same value for currentTaskAttemptId() execute this method concurrently. This change makes the operation of reading the initial amount of unroll memory used, performing the unroll, and updating the associated memory maps atomic in order to avoid this race condition. Initial proposed fix wraps all of unrollSafely() in a memoryManager.synchronized { } block. A cleaner approach might be introduce a mechanism that synchronizes based on task attempt ID. An alternative option might be to track unroll/pending unroll memory based on block ID rather than task attempt ID. Author: Adam Budde <[email protected]> Closes #11012 from budde/master.
