I think not treating slots on pending lists as unused (or equivalently, treating slots on pending lists as "in-use") is cleaner. Since the free/pending counters are not strictly synchronized (`Atomic::add(&_free_count, count);` in `try_transfer_pending`), adding the pending counter in that formula could cause "unused slots > total slots", which is extremely confusing.
