8024838: Significant slowdown due to transparent huge pages
Summary: Don't turn on transparent huge pages 
(-XX:+UseTransparentHugePages) unless explicitly specified on the 
command line. This has the effect that large pages are never turned on 
Linux unless the user has explicitly enabled any of the large pages 
flags: -XX:+UseLargePages, -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages, 
-XX:+UseHugeTLBFS, and -XX:+UseSHM.
Reviewed-by: TBD1, TBD2
