This fixes the following warnings in dlmalloc seen with my gcc 4.6.

dlmalloc.c: In function 'malloc_bin_reloc':
dlmalloc.c:1493: warning: dereferencing pointer 'p' does break strict-aliasing rules
dlmalloc.c:1493: warning: dereferencing pointer 'p' does break strict-aliasing rules
dlmalloc.c:1490: note: initialized from here
dlmalloc.c:1493: note: initialized from here

This version is tested on avr32 arch boards.

since v1:
 * use size_t for array counter instead of int
 * increment the pinter for next iteration

damn, this is in fact a [PATCH v2]. It is a successor of

if no one complains I will apply this through u-boot-avr32 next weekend.
