malloc: Enable huge page support on main arenaazanella/hugepage
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.
