// Each MCentral is two lists of MSpans: those with free objects (c->nonempty)
// and those that are completely allocated (c->empty).
//
// TODO(rsc): tcmalloc uses a "transfer cache" to split the list
// into sections of class_to_transfercount[sizeclass] objects
// so that it is faster to move those lists between MCaches and MCentrals.
