    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.
