Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon: Validate if the pmd entry is present before accessing

The pmd_huge() is used to validate if the pmd entry is mapped by a huge
page, also including the case of non-present (migration or hwpoisoned)
pmd entry on arm64 or x86 architectures. Thus we should validate if it
is present before making the pmd entry old or getting young state,
otherwise we can not get the correct corresponding page.
