PATCH 1/1 mm/smaps: Don't access young/dirty bit if pte unpresent

These bits should only be valid when the ptes are present. Introducing two booleans for it and set it to false when !pte_present().

Will do in the future.

For this specific one I'll add some more details:

The bug is found during code reading and no real world issue reported, but logically such an error can cause incorrect readings for either smaps or smaps_rollup output on quite a few fields.

For example, it could cause over-estimate on values like Shared_Dirty, Private_Dirty, Referenced; or it could also cause under-estimate on values like LazyFree, Shared_Clean, Private_Clean.

Meanwhile I think I overlooked the pmd handling which seems to have the same issue but done in another commit.. Will repost soon.

Thanks,
