mm: thp: set the accessed flag for old pages on access fault 



On x86 memory accesses to pages without the ACCESSED flag set result in
the ACCESSED flag being set automatically.  With the ARM architecture a
page access fault is raised instead (and it will continue to be raised
until the ACCESSED flag is set for the appropriate PTE/PMD).

For normal memory pages, handle_pte_fault will call pte_mkyoung
(effectively setting the ACCESSED flag).  For transparent huge pages,
pmd_mkyoung will only be called for a write fault.

This patch ensures that faults on transparent hugepages which do not
result in a CoW update the access flags for the faulting pmd.
