    Cygwin: cygheap: fix fork error after heap has grown
    
    2f9b8ff0 introduced a problem where forks would sometimes fail with:
    
    child_copy: cygheap read copy failed, 0x0..0x80044C750, done 0, windows pid 14032, Win32 error 299
    
    When cygheap_max was > CYGHEAP_STORAGE_INITIAL, commit_size would be set to
    allocsize(cygheap_max), which is an address, not a size.  VirtualAlloc would be
    called to commit commit_size bytes, which would fail, and then child_copy would
    be called with zero as the base address.
    
    Fixes: 2f9b8ff00cce ("Cygwin: decouple cygheap from Cygwin DLL")
