Let's always ignore the accessed/young bit: we'll always mark the PTE as
old in our child process during fork, and upcoming users will similarly
not care.

Ignore the dirty bit only if we don't want to duplicate the dirty bit into
the child process during fork.  Maybe, we could just set all PTEs in the
child dirty if any PTE is dirty.  For now, let's keep the behavior
unchanged, this can be optimized later if required.

Ignore the soft-dirty bit only if the bit doesn't have any meaning in the
src vma, and similarly won't have any in the copied dst vma.

For now, we won't bother with the uffd-wp bit.
