Secondary MMUs are currently consulted for access/age information at
eviction time, but before then, we don't get accurate age information.
That is, pages that are mostly accessed through a secondary MMU (like
guest memory, used by KVM) will always just proceed down to the oldest
generation, and then at eviction time, if KVM reports the page to be
young, the page will be activated/promoted back to the youngest
generation.
The added feature bit (0x8), if disabled, will make MGLRU behave as if
there are no secondary MMUs subscribed to MMU notifiers except at
eviction time.
Implement aging with the new mmu_notifier_clear_young_fast_only()
notifier. For architectures that do not support this notifier, this
becomes a no-op. For architectures that do implement it, it should be
fast enough to make aging worth it (usually the case if the notifier is
implemented locklessly).
