[PATCH v4 7/7] malloc: Enable huge page support on main arena

[Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>]

This patch adds support huge page support on main arena allocation,
enable with tunable glibc.malloc.hugetlb=2.  The patch essentially
disable the __glibc_morecore() sbrk() call (similar when memory
tag does when sbrk() call does not support it) and fallback to
default page size if the memory allocation fails.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
