[PATCH 1/4] shallow.c: make paint_alloc slightly more robust

I have no idea if this is a real issue, but it's not obvious to me that paint_alloc cannot be called with info->nr_bits greater than about 4M (\approx 8*COMMIT_SLAB_SIZE). In that case the new slab would be too small. So just round up the allocation to the maximum of COMMIT_SLAB_SIZE and size.
