native: tlsf: early malloc will lead to a crash

[OlegHahm]

In case an application uses the TLSF package built for native, the process will crash if a TLSF function (like malloc()) is called before TLSF initialized its buffer - which is typically done in the application.

Possible solutions to this problem would be either to patch TLSF to check if the buffer was already reserved or to implement #4490.

Is an early auto_init an option?

[OlegHahm]

That's basically what #4490 proposes, yes.

Maybe I miss something, but I don't get how this issue is distinct from #4490 accept the focus on native.

[OlegHahm]

#4490 is a feature request. This issue indicates an existing problem with native that could be used implementing #4490. However, there are other means to fix it.
