On CPUs with hardware AF/DBM, initialising prefaulted PTEs as 'old' improves vmscan behaviour and does not appear to introduce any overhead elsewhere. Implement arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte() to return 'true' if we detect hardware access flag support at runtime. This can be extended in future based on MIDR matching if necessary.
