Subject: [PATCH v7 1/3] mm/madvise: introduce clear_young_dirty_ptes() batch helper

This commit introduces clear_young_dirty_ptes() to replace mkold_ptes().
By doing so, we can use the same function for both use cases
(madvise_pageout and madvise_free), and it also provides the flexibility
to only clear the dirty flag in the future if needed.
