The huge_ptep_set_access_flags() can not make the huge pte old according
to the discussion [1], that means we will always mornitor the young state
of the hugetlb though we stopped accessing the hugetlb, as a result DAMON
will get inaccurate accessing statistics.

So changing to use set_huge_pte_at() to make the huge pte old to fix this
issue.

As the commit has merged in from v5.17, I guess it would be better to do below?
