[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] mesa: Remove the ralloc canary on release builds.

[Eric Anholt]

The canary is basically just to give a better debugging message when you
ralloc_free() something that wasn't rallocated.  Reduces maximum memory
usage of apitrace replay of the dota2 demo by 60MB on my 64-bit system (so
half that on a real 32-bit dota2 environment).
