Subject: [PATCH] tools/nolibc/stdlib: fix memory error in realloc()

Pass user_p_len to memcpy() instead of heap->len to prevent realloc()
from copying an extra sizeof(heap) bytes from beyond the allocated
region.

All tests from Ammar's original test program pass:
https://gist.github.com/ammarfaizi2/db0af6aa0b95a0c7478bce64e349f021
This fix was tested with the following added test for realloc():

Thanks both for the fix and the review! I've pushed it to the "fixes"
branch. Thomas, for now I updated the branch to match "next" (which just
got merged) so as to preserve patch ordering, we'll just rebase it once
6.8-rc1 is out.
