Remarks
Discard any free buffers owned by this ImageReader.
Generally, the ImageReader caches buffers for reuse once they have been allocated, for best performance. However, sometimes it may be important to release all the cached, unused buffers to save on memory.
Calling this method will discard all free cached buffers. This does not include any buffers associated with Images acquired from the ImageReader, any filled buffers waiting to be acquired, and any buffers currently in use by the source rendering buffers into the ImageReader's Surface.
The ImageReader continues to be usable after this call, but may need to reallocate buffers when more buffers are needed for rendering.
