powerpc/mm: Add page soft dirty tracking
User space checkpoint and restart tool (CRIU) needs the page's change to be soft tracked. This allows to do a pre checkpoint and then dump only touched pages. This is done by using a newly assigned PTE bit (_PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY) when the page is backed in memory, and a new _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit when the page is swapped out. To introduce a new PTE _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit value common to hash 4k and hash 64k pte, the bits already defined in hash-*4k.h should be shifted left by one. The _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit is dynamically put after the swap type in the swap pte. A check is added to ensure that the bit is not overwritten by _PAGE_HPTEFLAGS.
