If the malloc range passed to mem_malloc_init() is at the end of address
range and 'start + size' overflows to 0, following allocations fail as
mem_malloc_end is zero (which looks like uninitialized).
Fix this by subtracting 1 of 'start + size' overflows to zero.

Changes in v5:
- this patch was 1/2 in v4 but is now 2/2 as the 2nd patch of v4 has
already been accepted
- rearrange the code to make it only 8 bytes plus in code size for arm
(which fixes smartweb SPL overflowing)
