[PATCH 7/7] mm: make PT_RECLAIM depend on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE && 64BIT

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch at bytedance.com>

Make PT_RECLAIM depend on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE so that PT_RECLAIM can
be enabled by default on all architectures that support
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.

Considering that a large number of PTE page table pages (such as 100GB+)
can only be caused on a 64-bit system, let PT_RECLAIM also depend on
64BIT.
