[RFC 0/4] arm64/mm: Clean up pte_dirty() state management

[Anshuman Khandual]

These pte_dirty() changes make things explicitly clear, while improving the
code readability. This optimizes HW dirty state transfer into SW dirty bit.
This also adds a new arm64 documentation explaining overall pte dirty state
management in detail. This series applies on the latest mainline kernel.
