Revert "mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries"
This reverts commit f35b5d7d. 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.
