Commit 128fd80c4c07 ("mm/idle_page_tracking: Make PG_idle reusable") of
linux-mm[1] allows PAGE_IDLE_FLAG to be set without PAGE_EXTENSION
while 64BIT is not set. This makes 'enum page_ext_flags' undefined, so
build fails as below for the config (!64BIT, !PAGE_EXTENSION, and
IDLE_PAGE_FLAG).

$ make ARCH=i386 allnoconfig
$ echo 'CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG=y' >> .config
$ make olddefconfig
$ make ARCH=i386
[...]
../include/linux/page_idle.h: In function ‘folio_test_young’:
../include/linux/page_idle.h:25:18: error: ‘PAGE_EXT_YOUNG’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘PAGEOUTRUN’?
return test_bit(PAGE_EXT_YOUNG, &page_ext->flags);
[...]

This commit fixes this issue by making PAGE_EXTENSION to be set when
64BIT is not set and PAGE_IDLE_FLAG is set.
