malloc: Improve MAP_HUGETLB with glibc.malloc.hugetlb=2
Even for explicit large page support, allocation might use mmap without the hugepage bit set if the requested size is smaller than mmap_threshold. For this case where mmap is issued, MAP_HUGETLB is set iff the allocation size is larger than the used large page. To force such allocations to use large pages, also tune the mmap_threhold (if it is not explicit set by a tunable). This forces allocation to follow the sbrk path, which will fall back to mmap (which will try large pages before galling back to default mmap). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
