mm/rmap: always do TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS
Since commit 369ea8242c0f ("mm/rmap: update to new mmu_notifier semantic
v2"), the code to check the secondary MMU's page table access bit is
broken for !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) because the page is unmapped from the
secondary MMU's page table before the check. More specifically for those
secondary MMUs which unmap the memory in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() like kvm.
However memory reclaim is the only user of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) or the
absence of TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS and it explicitly performs the page table
access check before trying to unmap the page. So, at worst the reclaim
will miss accesses in a very short window if we remove page table access
check in unmapping code.
There is an unintented consequence of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) for the memcg
reclaim. From memcg reclaim the page_referenced() only account the
accesses from the processes which are in the same memcg of the target page
but the unmapping code is considering accesses from all the processes, so,
decreasing the effectiveness of memcg reclaim.
The simplest solution is to always assume TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS in unmapping
code.
