Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the
dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}. This allows the
TLB page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an
eager optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed,
we can assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared
accessed / dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without
holding the page table lock is if a remote processor clears them. This
eliminates an extra branch which came from the generic version of the
code, as we know that no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the
flush will always be needed.
We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define
the macros in the i386 code:
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY
The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the
generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there
are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic
code from defining them for us.
