[PATCH v2 0/6] support batched checking of the young flag for MGLRU

[Baolin Wang]

This is a follow-up to the previous work [1], to support batched checking
of the young flag for MGLRU.

Similarly, batched checking of young flag for large folios can improve
performance during large-folio reclamation when MGLRU is enabled. I
observed noticeable performance improvements (see patch 5) on an Arm64
machine that supports contiguous PTEs. All mm-selftests are passed.

Patch 1 - 3: cleanup patches.
Patch 4: add a new generic batched PTE helper: test_and_clear_young_ptes().
Patch 5: support batched young flag checking for MGLRU.
Patch 6: implement the Arm64 arch-specific test_and_clear_young_ptes().
