mm: introduce arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young()

Browse Source 
When running as a Xen PV guests commit eed9a328aa ("mm: x86: add
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG") can cause a protection violation in
pmdp_test_and_clear_young():

 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff8880083374d0
 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation
 PGD 3026067 P4D 3026067 PUD 3027067 PMD 7fee5067 PTE 8010000008337065
 Oops: 0003 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
 CPU: 7 PID: 158 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 6.1.0-rc5-20221118-doflr+ #1
 RIP: e030:pmdp_test_and_clear_young+0x25/0x40

This happens because the Xen hypervisor can't emulate direct writes to
page table entries other than PTEs.

This can easily be fixed by introducing arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young()
similar to arch_has_hw_pte_young() and test that instead of
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG.
