Lance Yang 1b68112c40 mm/madvise: introduce clear_young_dirty_ptes() batch helper
Patch series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free",
v10.

This patchset adds support for lazyfreeing multi-size THP (mTHP) without
needing to first split the large folio via split_folio().  However, we
still need to split a large folio that is not fully mapped within the
target range.

If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range.  But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up.  As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.

Performance Testing
===================

On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of
the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in
seconds (shorter is better):

Folio Size |   Old    |   New    | Change
------------------------------------------
      4KiB | 0.590251 | 0.590259 |    0%
     16KiB | 2.990447 | 0.185655 |  -94%
     32KiB | 2.547831 | 0.104870 |  -95%
     64KiB | 2.457796 | 0.052812 |  -97%
    128KiB | 2.281034 | 0.032777 |  -99%
    256KiB | 2.230387 | 0.017496 |  -99%
    512KiB | 2.189106 | 0.010781 |  -99%
   1024KiB | 2.183949 | 0.007753 |  -99%
   2048KiB | 0.002799 | 0.002804 |    0%


This patch (of 4):

This commit introduces clear_young_dirty_ptes() to replace mkold_ptes(). 
By doing so, we can use the same function for both use cases
(madvise_pageout and madvise_free), and it also provides the flexibility
to only clear the dirty flag in the future if needed.
