Removed the use of MAP_HUGETLB for anonymous mapping on ppc64. The
MAP_HUGETLB had previously been added to workaround issues on IBM Power8
systems when mapping /dev/zero (see: commit
284ae3e9ff9a92575c28c858efd2c85c8de6d440). In the current code the
MAP_HUGETLB flag will cause the anonymous mapping to fail on Power9.
Note, Power8 is currently failing to correctly mmap Hugepages, with and
without this change.
