vppinfra: prevent dlmalloc from allocating memory via mmap_alloc()
If the heap does not have enough space to satisfy allocation request, the allocator calls sys_alloc(). There, if the request is bigger than mparams.mmap_threshold, the mmap_alloc() is called to allocate memory via a direct mmap call. The resulting allocated memory is properly recognized by clib_mem_is_heap_object() only for the first such request. Subsequent requests overwrite the tracking data, resulting in previously "valid" addresses become invalid, as seen by clib_mem_is_heap_object(). The result is a misleading behavior which masks other issues. This is a temporary change to avoid the affected codepath until there is a proper fix to track the directly mmap-allocated memory.
