Subject: mm/khugepaged: extract young page check into pte_is_referenced() helper
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 13:25:00 -0600

This change deduplicates the "is this PTE/folio referenced enough to be
considered for a collapse" condition that was repeated in both
__collapse_huge_page_isolate() and collapse_scan_pmd(), extracting it into
a single inline helper function.

Also move the comment and use it as the function header.  While we are at
it, updated the comment to clarify that a young pte is a recently accessed
one.
