When the heap is exhausted (no free block), start and end markers are
the only blocks present in the free block list:
+---------------+ +-----------> NULL
| | |
| V |
+ ----- + + ----- +
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
+ ----- + + ----- +
xStart pxEnd
The code block which traverses the list of free blocks to calculate heap
stats used a do..while loop that moved past the end marker when the heap
had no free block resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. This commit
changes the do..while loop to while loop thereby ensuring that we never
move past the end marker.
