Good catch. They're both empty macros on ARM, so the typechecker didn't spot
it. Updated patch below.
Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] mm: thp: Set the accessed flag for old pages on access fault.
On x86 memory accesses to pages without the ACCESSED flag set result in the
ACCESSED flag being set automatically. With the ARM architecture a page access
fault is raised instead (and it will continue to be raised until the ACCESSED
flag is set for the appropriate PTE/PMD).
For normal memory pages, handle_pte_fault will call pte_mkyoung (effectively
setting the ACCESSED flag). For transparent huge pages, pmd_mkyoung will only
be called for a write fault.
This patch ensures that faults on transparent hugepages which do not result
in a CoW update the access flags for the faulting pmd.
