Norman Maurer ab1bb9136b [#3654] Synchronize on PoolSubpage head when allocate / free PoolSubpages
Motivation:

Currently we hold a lock on the PoolArena when we allocate / free PoolSubpages, which is wasteful as this also affects "normal" allocations. The same is true vice-verse.

Modifications:

Ensure we synchronize on the head of the PoolSubPages pool. This is done per size and so it is possible to concurrently allocate / deallocate PoolSubPages with different sizes, and also normal allocations.

Result:

Less condition and so faster allocation/deallocation.
