Fix memory leak in Memoize cache key evaluation
When probing the Memoize cache to check if the current cache key values
exist in the cache, we perform an evaluation of the expressions making up
the cache key before probing the hash table for those values. This
operation could leak memory as it is possible that the cache key is an
expression which requires allocation of memory, as was the case in bug
17844.
Here we fix this by correctly switching to the per tuple context before
evaluating the cache expressions so that the memory is freed next time the
per tuple context is reset.
