[Xenomai] [PATCH v2] boilerplate: Limit memory usage tlsf-heap

[Ronny Meeus]

Before this patch the system memory pool's (tlsf variant) behavior was
to grow in case allocations were done when depleted. This is a
contradiction with the expected behavior (see mem-pool-size tunable
documentation). When the pool is depleted, an error should be retuned
instead of growing the pool.

This patch solves this bug.
