Prune blobs can OOM #6559

Description

We have a bug report from AllNodes about a Lighthouse node using 77GB of RAM when switching from --prune-blobs false to --prune-blobs true.

They helpfully shared a jemalloc memory dump which shows that the allocations are within do_atomically_with_block_and_blobs_cache, in particular in the get_blobs call under the partition.
