[PATCH v2 3/7] tlsf: fix sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(void *) assumption

[Ahmad Fatoum]

TLSF struct block_header_t doesn't describe a single block, but
instead its first member covers the previous block:

                              .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
                              |  prev_phys_block  |
    End of previous block --> |———————————————————| <-- Start of a free block
                              |       size        |
                              |— — — — — — — — — —|
                              | < Start of Data > |
                              '———————————————————'

This works because if the previous block is free, there is no harm in
using its last word to store the prev_phys_block.

We thus need pointer arithmetic to:

  - arrive from start of data to size, i.e. decrement offset
    by sizeof(size_t)

  - arrive from size to prev_phys_block, i.e. decrement offset
    by sizeof(struct block_header_t *)

Across the TLSF implementation, we conflate the two though and use
block_header_shift to mean both.  This works as long as
sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(struct block_header_t *), which is true
for both 32-bit and 64-bit configuration currently.

To facilitate having an 8-byte minimum allocation alignment for 32-bit
systems as well, we will increase sizeof(struct block_header_t::size)
to 8 bytes, which will break the implicit assumption. Fix it by adding
an additional const block_header_shift and use it where appropriate.

No functional change just yet.
