Subject: mm/mapping_dirty_helpers: guard hugepage pud's usage

Mapping dirty helpers have, so far, been only used on X86, but a port of
vmwgfx to ARM64 exposed a problem which results in a compilation error on
ARM64 systems:

mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c: In function `wp_clean_pud_entry':
mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c:172:32: error: implicit declaration of function `pud_dirty'; did you mean `pmd_dirty'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

This is due to the fact that mapping_dirty_helpers code assumes that
pud_dirty is always defined, which is not the case for architectures that
don't define CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.

ARM64 arch is a little inconsistent when it comes to PUD hugepage helpers,
e.g.  it defines pud_young but not pud_dirty but regardless of that the
core kernel code shouldn't assume that any of the PUD hugepage helpers are
available unless CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD is defined. 
This prevents compilation errors whenever one of the drivers is ported to
new architectures.
