/**
 * Allocation is returned by Allocator::Allocate() method.
 *
 * An allocator may be decorated by another allocator. For example, we can
 * decorate a RetryAllocator to any allocator to perform allocation retry when
 * first allocation request fails.
 *
 * Explanations of Allocator design are as follows:
 *
 * Suppose we have an allocator which is decorated by several allocators:
 *
 *   A(1) <- A(2) <- A(3) <- ... <- A(n)
 *
 * , and the public allocator is A(1).
 *
 * The allocation process would be:
 *
 *   A(n).Allocate() -> ... -> A(2).Allocate() -> A(1).Allocate()
 *
 * , and the free process would be:
 *
 *   A(1).Free() -> A(2).Free() -> ... -> A(n).Free()
 *
 * Therefore, we should record the allocator chain when allocating, so
 * that we can free the allocation in the reverse order of allocator chain.
 * The field `decorated_allocators_` is used to record this chain.
 *
 * Another example is that we want to add additional fields in Allocation,
 * e.g., something what is done in AlignedAllocator, etc.
 * In this case, we should declare a derived class of Allocation, which
 * contains an underlying Allocation allocated by the underlying allocator.
 * Therefore, `decorated_allocators_` of the new Allocation object would
 * be a new chain, differing from the underlying Allocation object.
