mm/damon/ops-common: atomically test and clear young on ptes and pmds
commit c11d34fa139e4b0fb4249a30f37b178353533fa1 upstream.
It is racy to non-atomically read a pte, then clear the young bit, then
write it back as this could discard dirty information. Further, it is bad
practice to directly set a pte entry within a table. Instead clearing
young must go through the arch-provided helper,
ptep_test_and_clear_young() to ensure it is modified atomically and to
give the arch code visibility and allow it to check (and potentially
modify) the operation.
