[PATCH] malloc: Simplify implementation of __malloc_assert

It is prudent not to run too much code after detecting heap
corruption, and __fxprintf is really complex. The line number
and file name do not carry much information, so it is not included
in the error message. (__libc_message only supports %s formatting.)
The function name and assertion should provide some context.
Tested on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu. Also emulated the
__libc_message call using GDB, and it produced the expected output.
Thanks,
Florian
