I had a look at this (and blogged about it here[1]) and was also
wondering what was going on with 17devel and the recent back-branch
releases, cause I could also reproduce those continuing memory leaks.

Adding some debug logging when llvm_inline_reset_caches() is called
solves the mystery: as you are calling a function, the fix that is in
17devel and the back-branch releases is not applicable and only after
the function returns llvm_inline_reset_caches() is being called (as
llvm_jit_context_in_use_count is greater than zero, presumably, so it
never reaches the call-site of llvm_inline_reset_caches()).

If you instead run your SQL in a DO-loop (as in the blog post) and not
as a PL/PgSQL function, you should see that it no longer leaks. This
might be obvious to some (and Andres mentioned it in
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20210421002056.gjd6rpe6toumiqd6%40alap3.anarazel.de)
but it took me a while to figure out/find.
