mm/rmap: always do TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS
Since commit 369ea8242c0f ("mm/rmap: update to new mmu_notifier semantic v2"), the code to check the secondary MMU's page table access bit is broken for !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) because the page is unmapped from the secondary MMU's page table before the check. More specifically for those secondary MMUs which unmap the memory in mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() like kvm. However memory reclaim is the only user of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) or the absence of TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS and it explicitly performs the page table access check before trying to unmap the page. So, at worst the reclaim will miss accesses in a very short window if we remove page table access check in unmapping code. There is an unintented consequence of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) for the memcg reclaim. From memcg reclaim the page_referenced() only account the accesses from the processes which are in the same memcg of the target page but the unmapping code is considering accesses from all the processes, so, decreasing the effectiveness of memcg reclaim. The simplest solution is to always assume TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS in unmapping code.
