fix osReserveHeapMemory block alignment

Before the change osReserveHeapMemory() attempted
to allocate chunks of memory via osTryReserveHeapMemory()
not multiple of MBLOCK_SIZE in the following fallback code:

```
    if (at == NULL) {
        *len -= *len / 8;
```

and caused assertion failure:

```
$ make fulltest TEST=T11607 WAY=threaded1
T11607: internal error: ASSERTION FAILED: file rts/posix/OSMem.c, line 457
    (GHC version 8.7.20180716 for riscv64_unknown_linux)

```

The change applies alignment mask before each MBLOCK allocation attempt
and fixes WAY=threaded1 test failures on qemu-riscv64.

Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>

Test Plan: run 'make fulltest WAY=threaded1'
