Comment (by nickm):

 I'm guessing that clientmap_entry_size() is something we'd extend once we
 have this and #24902 merged to the same branch?

 The geoip_client_cache_total_allocation() function needs to be much faster
 -- otherwise it will eat tons of CPU by walking the whole map every time
 cell_queues_check_size() is called -- and it is called from inside
 append_cell_to_circuit_queue().  How about having a static size_t that we
 increment when we allocate an entry, and decrement when we free it?

 Otherwise, looks plausible.
