mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries

Align larger anonymous memory mappings on THP boundaries by going through
thp_get_unmapped_area if THPs are enabled for the current process.

With this patch, larger anonymous mappings are now THP aligned.  When a
malloc library allocates a 2MB or larger arena, that arena can now be
mapped with THPs right from the start, which can result in better TLB hit
rates and execution time.
