From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com>

Use mmu_notifier_{test,clear}_young_bitmap() to handle KVM PTEs in
batches when the fast path is supported. This reduces the contention on
kvm->mmu_lock when the host is under heavy memory pressure.

An existing selftest can quickly demonstrate the effectiveness of
this patch. On a generic workstation equipped with 128 CPUs and 256GB
DRAM:

  $ sudo max_guest_memory_test -c 64 -m 250 -s 250
