Recent dlmalloc-rs started validating that deallocation size is same as the size that was allocated.
https://github.com/alexcrichton/dlmalloc-rs/blob/0.2.6/src/dlmalloc.rs#L1187
Since canonical abi string does not have "capacity" concept separate from "length", we don't have a way to tell how much memory was allocated to the buffer owner. So, canonical abi always assumes that "length" is the same as "capacity" and deallocates the buffer with the "length" size.
This means that if we overallocate the buffer and return the buffer with a length less than the allocated size, dlmalloc-rs validation will fail.
This commit fixes the issue by lopping off the extra allocated space by realloc with smaller size.
