Subject: [PATCH V13 1/6] mm: softdirty: Add pgtable_supports_soft_dirty()

Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it
unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource.

Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations
to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is
running.

This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of
pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by
the architecture, no change in behavior is expected.

We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(),
so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.
