mm: add MAP_HUGETLB for mmaping pseudo-anonymous huge page regions
Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by
using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave
the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.
The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
meaning to it.
