I am not sure if this is an actual bug in the malloc backtrace patch, or
if this is can only happen once there are additional sources of corrupt
arenas besides the malloc backtrace path

This was found through code inspection.  I do not have a test case at
the moment.

	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_free): Do not free chunks in corrupt
	arenas.
	(realloc_from_corrupt): New function.
	(__libc_realloc): Call it for corrupt arenas.
