malloc: Fix missing accounting of top chunk in malloc_info [BZ #24026]
Fixes `<total type="rest" size="..."> incorrectly showing as 0 most of the time. The rest value being wrong is significant because to compute the actual amount of memory handed out via malloc, the user must subtract it from <system type="current" size="...">. That result being wrong makes investigating memory fragmentation issues like <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843478> close to impossible. (cherry picked from commit b6d2c4475d5abc05dd009575b90556bdd3c78ad0)
