if rte malloc is called to allocate memory of size is between multiple of hugepage size minus malloc_header_len and hugepage size rte_malloc fails to allocate memory. this fix replaces malloc_elem_trailer_len with malloc_elem_overhead in try_expand_heap() to include malloc_elem_header_len when calculating n_seg.
