[PATCH 6.12.y 1/4] mm/mglru: reset page lru tier bits when activating

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Wei Xu <weixugc@google.com>

[ Upstream commit f1001f3d3b6868998cab73d10fda1a5c99ddf963 ]

When a folio is activated, lru_gen_add_folio() moves the folio to the
youngest generation.  But unlike folio_update_gen()/folio_inc_gen(),
lru_gen_add_folio() doesn't reset the folio lru tier bits (LRU_REFS_MASK |
LRU_REFS_FLAGS).  This inconsistency can affect how pages are aged via
folio_mark_accessed() (e.g.  fd accesses), though no user visible impact
related to this has been detected yet.

Note that lru_gen_add_folio() cannot clear PG_workingset if the activation
is due to workingset refault, otherwise PSI accounting will be skipped.
So fix lru_gen_add_folio() to clear the lru tier bits other than
PG_workingset when activating a folio, and also clear all the lru tier
bits when a folio is activated via folio_activate() in
lru_gen_look_around().
