Subject: [PATCH v9 02/14] mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG

Some architectures support the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries,
e.g., x86 sets the accessed bit in a non-leaf PMD entry when using it
as part of linear address translation [1]. Page table walkers that
clear the accessed bit may use this capability to reduce their search
space.

Note that:
1. Although an inline function is preferable, this capability is added
   as a configuration option for consistency with the existing macros.
2. Due to the little interest in other varieties, this capability was
   only tested on Intel and AMD CPUs.

[1]: Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
     Volume 3 (June 2021), section 4.8
