[PATCH V2] Kconfig: enlarge CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN

From: Peng Fan peng.fan@nxp.com
"alloc space exhausted" happens in very early stage, which could be seen with DEBUG_UART options enabled and leeds to an non-functional board.
kontron_pitx_imx8m: CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_BASE=0x30880000 # for serial3 CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_CLOCK=24000000
imx8mqevk: CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_BASE=0x30860000 # for uart1 CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_CLOCK=24000000
It is because CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN is too small and still leave CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN as 0x2000.
