arm64: mm: implement the architecture-specific test_and_clear_young_ptes()

Implement the Arm64 architecture-specific test_and_clear_young_ptes() to
enable batched checking of young flags, improving performance during large
folio reclamation when MGLRU is enabled.

While we're at it, simplify ptep_test_and_clear_young() by calling
test_and_clear_young_ptes().  Since callers guarantee that PTEs are
present before calling these functions, we can use pte_cont() to check the
CONT_PTE flag instead of pte_valid_cont().

Performance testing:

Enable MGLRU, then allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a
memory cgroup, and try to reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the
memory.reclaim interface.  I can observe 60%+ performance improvement on
my Arm64 32-core server (and about 15% improvement on my X86 machine).
