mm: mmap: map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE

Browse Source 
commit efa7df3e3b ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") incured regression for stress-ng pthread benchmark [1].  It
is because THP get allocated to pthread's stack area much more possible
than before.  Pthread's stack area is allocated by mmap without
VM_GROWSDOWN or VM_GROWSUP flag, so kernel can't tell whether it is a
stack area or not.

The MAP_STACK flag is used to mark the stack area, but it is a no-op on
Linux.  Mapping MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE to prevent from allocating THP
for such stack area.

With this change the stack area looks like:
