runtime/pprof: call runtime.GC twice in memory profile test
This change fixes #46500 by working around #45315 which may cause freed
objects to get missed in the heap profile published for the test.
By calling runtime.GC one more time this change ensures that all freed
objects are accounted for.
Fixes #46500.
