malloc_trim.3: Remove mention of free() call
'malloc_trim' was and is never called from the 'free' function. see related bug in glibc tracker: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2531. or '__int_free' function. Only the top part of the heap is trimmed after some calls to 'free', which is different from 'malloc_trim' which also releases memory in between chunks from all the arenas/heaps.
