common: Tidy up how malloc() is inited
The call to malloc() is a bit strange. The naming of the arguments suggests that an address is passed, but in fact it is a pointer, at least in the board_init_r() function and SPL equivalent. Update it to work as described. Add a function comment as well. Note that this does adjustment does not extend into the malloc() implementation itself, apart from changing mem_malloc_init(), since there are lots of casts and pointers and integers are used interchangeably.
