LSA tries to allocate zones as large as possible (while still leaving
enough free space for the standard allocator). It uses the amount of
free memory in order to guess how much it can get, but that obviously
doesn't account for fragmentation and the allocation attempt may fail.
This patch changes the LSA code so that it doesn't throw in case zone
couldn't be created but just returns a null pointer which should be
more performant if the LSA memory cannot grow any more.
Fixes#1394.
