This is the opposite of what I'm fixing; here we set a flag where it
isn't required.  Given we always use accessor functions (chunksize() and
chunsize_nomask()) it's no longer critical to follow the "not set when
not needed" rule.

Is this an "a or b" or "a and b"?

I see this as a restructuring to change the internal semantics of
malloc, and not in the scope of this simple bugfix.  I don't oppose it
in general, but as any bugs would be hidden behind the accessor
functions, testing it and/or proving it correct would be difficult, and
needlessly delay getting this bug fixed.

v2:

* New test case included, same as first test case but runs in a thread.
  Fails without the patch, passes with.

* Fixed first test case to handle tcache better

  In some cases, when you memalign and a large chunk is found and split
  up, the chunk may be larger than you expect if the excess was too
  small to make a new chunk.  In those cases, the chunk would be
  free()'d to a different tcache than you expect.  Thus, we must use
  malloc_usable_size() to determine where it went, and how to get it
  "back".

  Also, if the alignment is no more than the default alignment anyway,
  memalign calls malloc, so the small alignment tests were increased to
  force them to test the target logic.

Subject: malloc: set NON_MAIN_ARENA flag for reclaimed memalign chunk (BZ
 #30101)

Based on these comments in malloc.c:

   size field is or'ed with NON_MAIN_ARENA if the chunk was obtained
   from a non-main arena.  This is only set immediately before handing
   the chunk to the user, if necessary.

   The NON_MAIN_ARENA flag is never set for unsorted chunks, so it
   does not have to be taken into account in size comparisons.

When we pull a chunk off the unsorted list (or any list) we need to
make sure that flag is set properly before returning the chunk.
