runtime: update large object stats before freeSpan in sweep

Currently freeSpan is called before large object stats are updated when
sweeping large objects. This means heapStats.inHeap might get subtracted
before the large object is added to the largeFree field. The end result
is that the /memory/classes/heap/unused:bytes metric, which subtracts
live objects (alloc-free) from inHeap may overflow.

Fix this by always updating the large object stats before calling
freeSpan.

Fixes #67019.
