Inside the loop we call setup_object for the "next" object. So we
start iterating on the first one, but call setup_object for the
second. Then the loop moves on to the second one and calls
setup_object for the third. And so on. So the loop calls setup_object
for every object (including the last one) except for the first one.
The idea is that we want the freelist pointer that is stored in the
current object to have a tagged pointer to the next one, so we need to
assign a tag to the next object before storing the pointer in the
current one.
