mem-pool: only search head block for available space

Instead of searching all memory blocks for available space to fulfill
a memory request, only search the head block. If the head block does
not have space, assume that previous block would most likely not be
able to fulfill request either. This could potentially lead to more
memory fragmentation, but also avoids searching memory blocks that
probably will not be able to fulfill request.

This pattern will benefit consumers that are able to generate a good
estimate for how much memory will be needed, or if they are performing
fixed sized allocations, so that once a block is exhausted it will
never be able to fulfill a future request.
