[PATCH 1/6] malloc: define a maximum malloc size

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

TLSF and dlmalloc each already enforce a maximum allocation size.

Let's define SZ_1G as common maximum allocation size in preparation
for aligning all allocators to observe it.

The intention is to make code easier to reason about and as extra
hardening against possible, yet undiscovered, allocator bugs.
