From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@xxxxxxxxxx>
When the MM_WALK capability is enabled, memory that is mostly accessed
by a VM appears younger than it really is, therefore this memory will be
less likely to be evicted. Therefore, the presence of a running VM can
significantly increase swap-outs for non-VM memory, regressing the
performance for the rest of the system.
Fix this regression by always calling {ptep,pmdp}_clear_young_notify()
whenever we clear the young bits on PMDs/PTEs.
Fixes: bd74fdaea146 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks")
