Fix the boundary comparison when constructing the list of free blocks
for the case that 'size' is a power of two. Since 'boundary' is also a
power of two, that would make 'boundary' a multiple of 'size', in which
case a single block would never cross the boundary. This bug would
cause some of the allocated memory to be wasted (but not leaked).
Example:
size = 512
boundary = 2048
allocation = 4096
Address range
0 - 511
512 - 1023
1024 - 1535
1536 - 2047 *
2048 - 2559
2560 - 3071
3072 - 3583
3584 - 4095 *
Prior to this fix, the address ranges marked with "*" would not have
been used even though they didn't cross the given boundary.
