Some usecase may need a bigger fragment if current fragment
can't be coalesced to previous fragment because more space
for some header may be needed if it is a new fragment. So
introduce probe related API to tell if there are minimum
remaining memory in the cache to be coalesced to the previous
fragment, in order to save memory as much as possible.
