Improve Valgrind instrumentation of memory allocations
running valgrind on a fio spews a lot of warnings:
==14331== Invalid write of size 8
==14331== at 0x4C3451F: memset (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
==14331== by 0x4595F8: memset (string3.h:90)
==14331== by 0x4595F8: smalloc_pool (smalloc.c:434)
==14331== by 0x4595F8: __smalloc (smalloc.c:452)
==14331== by 0x4727CD: flow_init (flow.c:112)
==14331== by 0x421886: setup_thread_area (init.c:391)

Basically off any path that ends up in smalloc, on the memset()
that we do:
ptr = __smalloc_pool(pool, alloc_size);
if (ptr) {
struct block_hdr *hdr = ptr;
hdr->size = alloc_size;
fill_redzone(hdr);
ptr += sizeof(*hdr);
memset(ptr, 0, size);
^^^
}
for every alloc. From configure:
Valgrind headers yes
