closedFreezes with large texture packs

Description
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Prefetching large texture packs can freeze the emulated game. Happens with latest Dolphin dev builds and has been an issue for me since over a year. The freezing is sort of random, retrying with the same or a different graphics backend may or may not help. Dolphin freezes around 11-12 GB of RAM usage, which is about how much VRAM my GPU has.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
