MADV_FREE needs pmd_dirty and pmd_mkclean for detecting recent
overwrite of the contents since MADV_FREE syscall is called for
THP page.

This patch adds pmd_dirty and pmd_mkclean for THP page MADV_FREE
support.

Looks fine to me, but again, it would be great if Steve can take a look too.

This patch looks good to me:
Acked-by: Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org>

There is another patch that introduces a helper function to test for
pmd bits, please see below.

Russell,
