libpayload: Fix memalign() for fragmented alignment regions
Found a bug in the memory allocator ;-)
If the total free space in an alignment region is large enough for an allocation but fragmented, such that there is no contiguous, sufficient large, free space in the region, memalign() was looking at the same region again and again in an endless loop. The advancing to the next region was just missing.
