Alignment of 8 is not required for additional header
malloc guarantees aligned memory. If we add an alignment here, we are adding additonal unused 4 bytes. Each allocator has its own 4/8 byte header (GGC / ARM have 4 bytes). So if user request for 8 bytes of memory stats will add 8 + allocator 8. However if we remove the alignment in stats header, allocator will consider add 4 bytes to 12 byte request and zero padding. It will be beneficial to leave the padding to allocator.pull/8062/head
