[PATCH 01/16] malloc: Fix a realloc crash with heap tagging [BZ 27468]

_int_free must be called with a chunk that has its tag reset. This was
missing in a rare case that could crash when heap tagging is enabled:
when in a multi-threaded process the current arena runs out of memory
during realloc, but another arena still has space to finish the realloc
then _int_free was called without clearing the user allocation tags.
And another _int_free call site in realloc used the wrong size for the
tag clearing: the chunk header of the next chunk was also cleared which
in practice is probably not a problem, but logically that belongs to a
different chunk so it may cause trouble.
Fixes bug 27468.
