Add documentation for Linux THP alignment performance impact in OpenVINO
Summary
This PR adds a documentation page describing a Linux kernel Transparent Huge Page (THP) alignment behavior (commit efa7df3e3bb5) that can negatively impact performance when running dynamic Hugging Face Transformer models with OpenVINO. The document explains affected workloads, symptoms, diagnostic tips, and recommended mitigation guidance.
Motivation
This issue was reported based on performance regressions observed on Intel Developer Cloud when THP coalescence was disrupted due to forced PMD alignment. The documentation helps users understand and avoid this behavior when benchmarking or deploying OpenVINO-based workloads on Linux.
