      For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why
      it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires
      gup-fast to set the referenced bit).  qemu-kvm access already sets the
      young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow
      paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in
      use...
      
      We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT
      and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the
      primary pte.
      
      Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that
      avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even
      a single subpage in use.
      
      ->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that
      don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should
      nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like
      EPT does.
      
      Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in
      khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but
      I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.
