gatomicarray: suppress valgrind memory leak warnings

Browse Source 
The problem occurs because we keep a pointer inside the allocated block,
instead of a pointer to the start of the block:

```
==180238== 16 bytes in 1 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 3,086 of 16,075
==180238==    at 0x483980B: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:309)
==180238==    by 0x548942C: g_malloc (gmem.c:102)

```

Note we cannot use VALGRIND_FREELIKE_BLOCK() in freelist_free() because we
have not actually freed the FreeListNode and need to dereference it in
freelist_alloc() to decide whether to reuse the block. That would result
in a use-after-free warning before we would get a chance to call
VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK() in the reuse path.

Also note that this free list only ever grows: it never shrinks for the
lifetime of the application, so nothing here will ever be truely freed,
although unused elements are eligible for reuse.

Fix suggested by Philip Withnall
