[PATCH v5 02/10] mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG

[Yu Zhao]

Some architectures support the accessed bit on non-leaf PMD entries,
e.g., x86_64 sets the accessed bit on a non-leaf PMD entry when using
it as part of linear address translation [1]. As an optimization, page
table walkers who are interested in the accessed bit can skip the PTEs
under a non-leaf PMD entry if the accessed bit is cleared on this PMD
entry.

Although an inline function may be preferable, this capability is
added as a configuration option to look consistent when used with the
existing macros.
