In rust build, PkgBase armv7 in armv7 poudriere jail on aarch64: jemalloc's arena_choose_impl got Failed assertion: "ret" (arena_choose_hard result)

The context for this is messy and the failure happened after hours of high load average
bulk build activity. 32 GiBytes RAM with 118 GiBytes of swap (so: RAM+SWAP == 150 GiBytes).
8 cores (4 cortex-A78C and 4 cortex-X1C). Windows Dev Kit 2023. llvm18 was also building.
(Note: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_latest/ last updated over a month ago:
2024-Jan-25 09:48 UTC most recent file timestamps.) The aarch64 world in use to do the
bulk run was via a chroot into a directory tree not matching the boot world. (The boot
world was a more recent PkgBase aarch64 world, explaining the /home/bapt/worktrees/ in the
path in the message.)

<jemalloc>: /home/bapt/worktrees/main/contrib/jemalloc/include/jemalloc/internal/jemalloc_internal_inlines_b.h:23: Failed assertion: "ret"

/* Choose an arena based on a per-thread value. */
static inline arena_t *
arena_choose_impl(tsd_t *tsd, arena_t *arena, bool internal) {
        arena_t *ret;

        if (arena != NULL) {
                return arena;
        }

        /* During reentrancy, arena 0 is the safest bet. */
        if (unlikely(tsd_reentrancy_level_get(tsd) > 0)) {
                return arena_get(tsd_tsdn(tsd), 0, true);
        }

        ret = internal ? tsd_iarena_get(tsd) : tsd_arena_get(tsd);
        if (unlikely(ret == NULL)) {
                ret = arena_choose_hard(tsd, internal);
                assert(ret);

(Note: UFS file system, ZFS not loaded: no ARC.)

It is unlikely that I'll reproduce this failure, much less identify a
simpler context for reproducing it.


I do learn from this that PkgBase for armv7 has that assert enabled in
that code. (I do not know if that is typical or not.)
