    Makes sure FreeListCategories never contain empty elements · 303ca9ac
    Darius Mercadier authored
    The linked lists of FreeLists could contain empty elements
    (FreeListCategories whose `top()` is null). The code is carefuly
    written so that this case won't break anything (probably just slow
    things a little bit).  When `FreeList::FindNodeIn` (the fast path of
    `FreeList::Allocate`) found such an empty `FreeListCategory`, it
    removed it by calling `FreeList::RemoveCategory`, and looked in the
    next `FreeListCategory` of the same size. However, on the slow path of
    `FreeList::Allocate`, the functions that iterates the
    `FreeListCategory` are `FreeList::TryFindNodeIn` and
    `FreeListCategory::PickNodeFromList`, none of which removed empty
    elements. Therefore, it could happen that a `FreeListCategory` "real"
    first element could be used, but was never considered due to the top of
    the linked list being empty. The behavior for the slow path should be
    the same as for the fast path on that regard.
    
    The problem was actually deeper than that: FreeListCategories were not
    always in a consistent state, since they could have empty members. The
    removal of those empty elements should be done as soon as they are
    created, ie when allocating the last element.
    
    This CL ensures that empty FreeListCategories are removed as soon as
    they become empty.
