fix: memory leak investigation - close HTTP clients on cache eviction, fix Sagemaker NoneType error

Three fixes addressing the v1.81.12.rc.1 memory leak report:

1. InMemoryCache: Add on_evict callback to _remove_key() so cached objects
   can be cleaned up deterministically when evicted (TTL expiry or size limit).

2. LLMClientCache: Use on_evict to close HTTP clients when they are evicted
   from the client cache, preventing connection pool leaks that accumulate
   under high load (previously relied on unreliable __del__/GC).

3. Sagemaker handler: Fix AttributeError 'NoneType' object has no attribute
   'get' when exception.response is explicitly None. Also remove unreachable
   dead code in make_async_call.
