  F_MALLOC: Always perform an O(1) defragmentation on free()

Changes:
    * remove the "memory space" runtime computation, as well as the 95%
	defragmentation "start threshold" (better performance!)
    * change the defragmentation heuristic from O(N) to O(1).  This way,
        we avoid any performance issues caused by _too much_
	defragmentation

The main idea is to get rid of the dreaded "not enough shared memory,
attempting defragmentation..." state, where SHM performance goes down
dramatically, to the point where SIP traffic processing may stall.
