This reverts commit f35b5d7d676e59e401690b678cd3cfec5e785c23.
It has been reported to cause huge performance regressions on some loads
(will-it-scale.per_process_ops, but also building the kernel with
clang).
The commit did speed up gcc builds by a small amount, so it's not an
unambiguous regression, but until the big regressions are understood,
let's revert it.

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.
