The PTE markers code is tiny and now it's enabled for most of the

otherwise we need special code path to take care of !PTE_MARKER case.

It'll be easier just make pte marker always exist.  Use this chance to
extend its usage to anonymous too by simply touching up some of the old
comments, because it'll be used for anonymous pages in the follow up
patches.
