When a chunk becomes fragmented, it can end up having a large number of small allocation areas free. The free_bytes sorting of chunks leads to unnecessary checking of chunks that cannot satisfy the allocation. Switch to contig_bits sorting to prevent scanning chunks that may not be able to service the allocation request.
