commit:b9007b6c548f91e88fd3f2ffa23de740431fa969 (Introduce disposable call-cache) introduced a memory leak for classes that include or prepend modules.  Taking the example memory leak script used in the commit message for commit:5922c954614e5947a548780bb3b894626affe6dd:

```ruby
    module M; def bar; end; end
    loop{
      Class.new do
        def foo; end
        prepend M
      end
    }
```

There is unbounded growth:

This issue appears to be limited to classes that include or prepend modules.

* Same memory leak when switching from `prepend` to `include`
* No memory leak when switching from `Class.new` to `Module.new`
* No memory leak when removing the `prepend`
* No memory leak when removing the `prepend` and subclassing the class.
