From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>

The redzone words are only checked during alloc and free - thus objects
that are never/rarely freed are not checked at all.

The attached patch adds a periodic scan over all objects and checks for
wrong redzone data or corrupted bufctl lists.

Most changes are under #ifdef DEBUG, the only exception is a trivial
correction for the initial timeout calculation: divide the cachep address
by L1_CACHE_BYTES before the mod - the low order bits are always 0.
