ger and gemv call blas_memory_alloc/free which in their turn
call blas_lock. blas_lock create thread contention when matrices
are small and the number of thread is high enough. We avoid
call blas_memory_alloc by replacing it with stack allocation.
This can be enabled with:
make -DMAX_STACK_ALLOC=2048
The given size (in byte) must be high enough to avoid thread contention
and small enough to avoid stack overflow.
