Potential memory leak in extensions::MessagingBindings::OpenChannelToExtension

Project Member Reported by erikc...@chromium.org, Jun 15 2017

Issue description

I've been running Chrome with memory profiling enabled. I started with a gmail tab that I used for ~2 weeks. Then I forced a GC, navigated to about:blank, and then forced another GC. The renderer that was hosting the about:blank frame still has ~7 thousand objects created in extensions::MessagingBindings::OpenChannelToExtension that have not been destroyed. This seems likely to be a leak. These stats come from a renderer that is only hosting about:blank.

Raw & processed data: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=733323#c2
Methodology: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fN5balfyrd7sRpd6DRaUI1TwoOwYjLyRSd7mwZT5US8/edit#

Each screenshot shows:
  1) # of objects created [that have not been destroyed]
  2) The stack trace of the code that created the object.

This regression has been open for half a year. It's not very actionable and the regression has been in all Chrome user's hands for months.
