rcu: reduce more than 7MB heap memory by malloc_trim()

Browse Source 
Since there are some issues in memory alloc/free machenism
in glibc for little chunk memory, if Qemu frequently
alloc/free little chunk memory, the glibc doesn't alloc
little chunk memory from free list of glibc and still
allocate from OS, which make the heap size bigger and bigger.

This patch introduce malloc_trim(), which will free heap
memory when there is no rcu call during rcu thread loop.
malloc_trim() can be enabled/disabled by --enable-malloc-trim/
--disable-malloc-trim in the Qemu configure command. The
default malloc_trim() is enabled for libc.

Below are test results from smaps file.
