[PATCH] mm: overwrite __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_CLEAR_YOUNG_FLUSH

[EXTERNAL Waechtler Peter (Fa. TCP, CM-AI/PJ-CF31)]

On ARM at least upto ARMv6 the accessed bit (YOUNG/OLD) are not
supported in hardware - they solely live in the Linux software
shadow page table.

There is no need to flush the TLB if only the young bit gets
cleared by kswapd.

There is a nasty deadlock because tlb_ops_need_broadcast() is set
and the page fault handler "double faults" resulting in IRQs turned
off.

If the kswapd decides to clear the young bit on one cpu and a
page fault is entered on the other cpu a deadlock can happen:
