[PATCH] mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries

[Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>]

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 checking in /proc/PID/maps, but only when THP is enabled
for that process.
