[PATCH] perf: Reduce memory usage of asnprinf_expr_inout_ints

[Alex Diaz]

Originally a formula was hardcoded to allocate 28 bytes
per integer passed to asprintf_expr_inout_ints. This commit
replaces said formula and only allocates as many bytes as
needed.

This commit saves memory in cases where numbers passed
are small in magnitude.
