On arm64 without hardware Access Flag, copying fromuser will fail because the pte is old and cannot be marked young. So we always end up with zeroed page after fork() + CoW for pfn mappings. we don't always have a hardware-managed access flag on arm64. Hence implement arch_faults_on_old_pte on arm64 to indicate that it might cause page fault when accessing old pte.
