Subject: [PATCH 5.9 114/133] powerpc/40x: Always fault when _PAGE_ACCESSED is not set

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@...roup.eu>

commit 0540b0d2ce9073fd2a736d636218faa61c99e572 upstream.

The kernel expects pte_young() to work regardless of CONFIG_SWAP.

Make sure a minor fault is taken to set _PAGE_ACCESSED when it
is not already set, regardless of the selection of CONFIG_SWAP.
