[PATCH v4 2/7] mm: multi-gen LRU: Have secondary MMUs participate in aging

Secondary MMUs are currently consulted for access/age information at eviction time, but before then, we don't get accurate age information. That is, pages that are mostly accessed through a secondary MMU (like guest memory, used by KVM) will always just proceed down to the oldest generation, and then at eviction time, if KVM reports the page to be young, the page will be activated/promoted back to the youngest generation.

Do not do look around if there is a secondary MMU we have to interact with.

The added feature bit (0x8), if disabled, will make MGLRU behave as if there are no secondary MMUs subscribed to MMU notifiers except at eviction time.
