Motivation
During the _schedule_prefill process, the system evaluates whether the free_ratio is less than 0.1. If this condition is met, it bypasses the prefill phase and proceeds directly to decode. When the service is launched with the --enable-prefix-caching option, a significant portion of the GPU memory blocks may be occupied by the block_trie structure. This leads to repeated invocations of decode operations, gradually depleting the available memory blocks. As a result, the waiting queue remains unscheduled, while the running queue becomes fully exhausted. Ultimately, when _schedule_decoding is called, an assertion error is triggered due to the condition assert len(running) != 0 not being satisfied.
Reproduction:
GPU: 4090

Modification
evict_block_trie when the free_ratio is less than 0.1 during the _schedule_prefill process
BC-breaking (Optional)
Does the modification introduce changes that break the backward-compatibility of the downstream repositories?
If so, please describe how it breaks the compatibility and how the downstream projects should modify their code to keep compatibility with this PR.
Use cases (Optional)
If this PR introduces a new feature, it is better to list some use cases here, and update the documentation.
