Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] [RFC] arm64: Add support for idle bit in swap PTE

This bit will be used by idle page tracking code to correctly identify
if a page that was swapped out was idle before it got swapped out.
Without this PTE bit, we lose information about if a page is idle or not
since the page frame gets unmapped.

In this patch we reuse PTE_DEVMAP bit since idle page tracking only
works on user pages in the LRU. Device pages should not consitute those
so it should be unused and safe to use.
