When updating the chunk's contig_hint on the free path of a hint that does not touch the page boundaries, it was incorrectly using the starting offset of the free region and the block's contig_hint. This could lead to incorrect assumptions about fit given a size and better alignment of the start. Fix this by using (end - start) as this is only called when updating a hint within a block.
