[syslinux] [PATCH] syslinux/core: Remove discrepancy between code comments and compiled code in malloc.h

[Brett Walker]

From: Brett Walker <brett.walker at geometry.com.au>

Remove a discrepancy between code comments and the definition for arena_header,
ARENA_PADDING and free_arena_header.

When the size of int and pointer are both 32-bits; and compiled with
DEBUG_MALLOC undefined; the following are true: sizeof(arena_header) == 16
and sizeof(free_arena_header) == 56.

To correct this, the type of _pad needs to be changed from size_t to uint8_t.
This will make sizeof(free_arena_header) == 32.
