Fix NULL pointer dereference in vPortGetHeapStats

Browse Source 
When the heap is exhausted (no free block), start and end markers are
the only blocks present in the free block list:

     +---------------+     +-----------> NULL
     |               |     |
     |               V     |
+ ----- +            + ----- +
|   |   |            |   |   |
|   |   |            |   |   |
+ ----- +            + ----- +
  xStart               pxEnd

The code block which traverses the list of free blocks to calculate heap
stats used a do..while loop that moved past the end marker when the heap
had no free block resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. This commit
changes the do..while loop to while loop thereby ensuring that we never
move past the end marker.
