Subject: mm: huge_memory: don't force huge page alignment on 32 bit
From: Yang Shi <yang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4ef9ad19e17676b9ef071309bc62020e2373705d upstream.
commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") caused two issues [1] [2] reported on 32 bit system or compat
userspace.
It doesn't make too much sense to force huge page alignment on 32 bit
system due to the constrained virtual address space.
