[PATCH] mm: bail out when the PMD has been set in bloom filter

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>

There are two reasons to have the recorded PMD bail out from doing
the following iteration
1. It is worth of doing such a trade off thing in terms of reclaiming
efficiency as test_bloom_filter only consume 20~30 instructions in modern
processors(25 instructions in ARM64).
2. The PMD needs to accumulate young pages until aging happens while the
new arrived folio reference checking under current max_seq refuse to do so
which will affect carrying hot PMDs to new generation.
