Description

On android with net8-rc.1, when navigating to a page containing a CarouselView and then back, the memory usage grows.
For comparison, no memory leak when navigating to a page containing a CollectionView with the same ItemsSource and ItemTemplate.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open repro project
2. On the first tab, tap on Go button, it will navigate to a page with a CollectionView.
3. Go back to the main page. Repeat a few times. Observe memory usage with dotnet-gcdump. It is stable.
4. On the second tab, tap on Go button, it will navigate to a page with a CarouselView.
5. Go back to the main page. Repeat a few times. Observe memory usage with dotnet-gcdump. It is slowly increasing.
6. Alternatively, open the attached gcdump files I've captured when showing the CarouselView page a few times. Between the first (memory-20.gcdump) and second (memory-24.gcdump), the memory usage increases quite a lot (the page is really simple).
