Fix inconsistent out-of-memory error reporting in dsa.c.

Fix inconsistent out-of-memory error reporting in dsa.c. Commit 16be2fd1 introduced the flag DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM to control whether the DSA allocator would raise an error or return InvalidDsaPointer on failure to allocate. One edge case was not handled correctly: if we fail to allocate an internal "span" object for a large allocation, we would always return InvalidDsaPointer regardless of the flag; a caller not expecting that could then dereference a null pointer. This is a plausible explanation for a one-off report of a segfault. Remove a redundant pair of braces so that all three stanzas that handle DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM match in style, for visual consistency. While fixing inconsistencies, if FreePageManagerGet() can't supply the pages that our book-keeping says it should be able to supply, then we should always report a FATAL error. Previously we treated that as a regular allocation failure in one code path, but as a FATAL condition in another. Back-patch to 10, where dsa.c landed.
