    malloc: optimize 4K allocations
    
    Here is a simple test case:
    "
    uint64_t entry_time, time;
    size_t size = 4096;
    unsigned align = 4096;
    for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) {
            entry_time = rte_get_timer_cycles();
            for (int i = 0; i < 2000; i++) {
                    rte_malloc(NULL, size, align);
            }
            time = (rte_get_timer_cycles()-entry_time) * 1000000 /
                    rte_get_timer_hz();
            printf("total open time %lu avg time %lu\n", time, time/2000);
    }
    "
    
    Single rte_malloc cost time may becomes worse as the number of malloc
    increases, In my env, first round avg time is 15us, second is 44us,
    third is 77us, fourth is 168us...
    
    The reason is, in the malloc process, malloc_elem_alloc may split new_elem
    if there have too much free space after new_elem, and insert the trailer
    into freelist. When alloc 4k with align 4k, the trailer very likely insert
    to free_head[2] again, it makes free_head[2] longer. when alloc 4k again,
    it will search free_head[2] from begin, with the number of malloc
    increases, search free_head[2] need more time, so the performance will
    become worse.
    Same problem will also occurs in alloc 64k with align 64k, but if alloc
    4k with align 64, doesn't have this problem.
    
    Fix this by adjust free_head list size range, make free_head[3] hold
    elements which bigger or equal 4k, free_head[4] hold elements which bigger
    or equal 16k.
    In terms of probabilities, when alloc 4k or 16k, the probability of
    finding a suitable elem from a larger size list is greater than from a
    smaller size list.
