This putback addresses this issue by providing for a "retire_tlabs" option to the interface, so that callers may retire the unused TLABs only as necessary. This can lead to better efficiency in TLAB usage in the presence of orthogonal heap iterations and such, as well as reduce the attendant noise in the sensor data for TLAB ergonomics. In the event that the option ZeroTLAB is on, we force TLAB retirement since we would otherwise need an additional pass over the TLABs to re-zero them once done with whatever needed the heap to be in a parsable state. We took this opportunity to also fix the mis-spelling of the method name.
