mempool: detect physical contiguous objects

The memory area containing all the objects must be physically
contiguous.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.

The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space
to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC.
This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.
