[RFC PATCH 3/3] mm/damon/vaddr: Change to use huge_ptep_get_access_flags()

The ARM64 platform can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which can
contain seravel continuous pte or pmd entries. However current
huge_ptep_get() only return one specific pte value for the CONT-PTE
or CONT-PMD size hugetlb, which did not take into accounts the
subpages' dirty or young flags. That will make the hugetlb pages
monitoring inaccurate with missing young flags.

Thus change to use huge_ptep_get_access_flags() taking into accounts
the subpages' dirty or young flags of a CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb.
