malloc: Avoid premature fallback to mmap [BZ #20284]

Before this change, the while loop in reused_arena which avoids
returning a corrupt arena would never execute its body if the selected
arena were not corrupt.  As a result, result == begin after the loop,
and the function returns NULL, triggering fallback to mmap.
