[3.14] pythongh-140067: Fix memory leak in sub-interpreter creation (pythonGH-140111)

Fix memory leak in sub-interpreter creation caused by overwriting of the previously used `_malloced` field. Now the pointer is stored in the first word of the memory block to avoid it being overwritten accidentally.
(cherry picked from commit 59547a2)
