malloc() adds the size of its header to the requested size without
checking for overflow. For a size within the header size of SIZE_MAX,
the sum wraps around to a few bytes, and malloc() returns a single page
instead of NULL.
calloc() checks its multiplication for overflow, but then passes the
product to malloc(), so calloc(SIZE_MAX, 1) returns a single page too.
So does realloc(ptr, SIZE_MAX).
Such a size is usually a bug in the caller, for instance a length of -1
used as a size_t, and returning a page instead of NULL can turn it into
a heap overflow.
Fail with ENOMEM when adding the header overflows, as glibc does for
sizes this large.
