[PATCH 2/6] mm, tlb: add mmu_gather->saw_unset_a_or_d

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a field (->saw_unset_a_or_d) to the asm-generic version of
mmu_gather.  We will use this on x86 to indicate when a PTE got
cleared that might potentially have a stray Accessed or Dirty bit
set.

Note that since ->saw_unset_a_or_d shares space in a bitfield
with ->fullmm and ->need_flush_all, there's no incremental
storage cost.  In addition, since it is initialized to 0 like
->need_flush_all, they can likely be initialized together,
leading to no real cost for having ->saw_unset_a_or_d around.
