mm: do not map the shadow stack as THP
The default shadow stack size allocated on first prctl() for the main thread or subsequently on clone() is either half of RLIMIT_STACK or half of a thread's stack size (for arm64). Both of these are likely to be suitable for a THP allocation and the kernel is more aggressive in creating such mappings. However, it does not make much sense to use a huge page. It didn't make sense for the normal stacks either, see commit c4608d1bf7c6 ("mm: mmap: map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE"). Force VM_NOHUGEPAGE when allocating/mapping the shadow stack. As per commit 7190b3c8bd2b ("mm: mmap: map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE only if THP is enabled"), only pass this flag if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled as not to confuse CRIU tools.
