Do we really need that? Same check is a few lines below. If we need both
checks the commit message should explain why. And I would add comments
before ifs explaining what they do and why they are needed/different/...

I could drop this one. It's an optimization to not even look at a free memory chunk if it's too small to fulfill the request just to begin with. The check later on will catch it then as well.
