[PATCH] eal: fixes the bug where rte_malloc() fails to allocates memory

[Fidaullah Noonari]

if rte malloc is called to allocate memory of size
is between multiple of hugepage size minus malloc_header_len
and hugepage size rte_malloc fails to allocate memory.
this fix replaces malloc_elem_trailer_len with
malloc_elem_overhead in try_expand_heap() to include
malloc_elem_header_len when calculating n_seg.
