mem_pool: Track the last two allocations (not just one)
This patch changes the mem_pool implementation to track the last two
allocations (instead of just the last) and allow them both to be freed
if the mem_pool_free() calls come in in reverse order. This is intended
as a specific optimization for the CBFS cache case when a compressed
file is mapped on a platform that doesn't natively support
memory-mapping flash. In this case, cbfs_map() (chaining through to
_cbfs_alloc() with allocator == NULL) will call
mem_pool_alloc(&cbfs_cache) to allocate space for the uncompressed file
data. It will then call cbfs_load_and_decompress() to fill that
allocation, which will notice the compression and in turn call
rdev_mmap_full() to map the compressed data (which on platforms without
memory-mapped flash usually results in a second call to
mem_pool_alloc(&cbfs_cache)). It then runs the decompression algorithm
and calls rdev_munmap() on the compressed data buffer (the latter one in
the allocation sequence), leading to a mem_pool_free(). The remaining
buffer with the uncompressed data is returned out of cbfs_map() to the
caller, which should eventually call cbfs_unmap() to mem_pool_free()
that as well. This patch allows this simple case to succeed without
leaking any permanent allocations on the cache. (More complicated cases
where the caller maps other files before cbfs_unmap()ing the first one
may still lead to leaks, but those are very rare in practice.)
