mm: remove boolean output parameters from folio_pte_batch_ext()
Instead, let's just allow for specifying through flags whether we want to have bits merged into the original PTE. For the madvise() case, simplify by having only a single parameter for merging young+dirty. For madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() merging the dirty bit is not required, but also not harmful. This code is not that performance critical after all to really force all micro-optimizations. As we now have two pte_t * parameters, use PageTable() to make sure we are actually given a pointer at a copy of the PTE, not a pointer into an actual page table.
