mm: make faultaround produce old ptes 

Currently, faultaround code produces young pte.  This can screw up
vmscan behaviour[1], as it makes vmscan think that these pages are hot
and not push them out on first round.

During sparse file access faultaround gets more pages mapped and all of
them are young.  Under memory pressure, this makes vmscan swap out anon
pages instead, or to drop other page cache pages which otherwise stay
resident.

Modify faultaround to produce old ptes, so they can easily be reclaimed
under memory pressure.

This can to some extend defeat the purpose of faultaround on machines
without hardware accessed bit as it will not help us with reducing the
number of minor page faults.

We may want to disable faultaround on such machines altogether, but
that's subject for separate patchset.

Minchan:
 "I tested 512M mmap sequential word read test on non-HW access bit
  system (i.e., ARM) and confirmed it doesn't increase minor fault any
  more.

  old: 4096 fault_around
  minor fault: 131291
  elapsed time: 6747645 usec

  new: 65536 fault_around
  minor fault: 131291
  elapsed time: 6709263 usec

  0.56% benefit"
