runtime: ensure sysStat for mheap_.arenas is aligned

We don't want to account the memory for mheap_.arenas because most of
it is never touched, so currently we pass the address of a uint64 on
the heap. However, at least on mips, it's possible for this uint64 to
be unaligned, which causes the atomic add in mSysStatInc to crash.

Fix this by instead passing a nil stat pointer.

Fixes #23946.
