mm: x86 pgtable: require X86_64 for soft-dirty tracker
Tracking dirty status on 2 level pages requires very ugly macros and taking into account how old the machines who can operate without PAE mode only are, lets drop soft dirty tracker from them for code simplicity (note I can't drop all the macros from 2 level pages by now since _PAGE_BIT_PROTNONE and _PAGE_BIT_FILE are still used even without tracker). Linus proposed to completely rip off softdirty support on x86-32 (even with PAE) and since for CRIU we're not planning to support native x86-32 mode, lets do that. (Softdirty tracker is relatively new feature which is mostly used by CRIU so I don't expect if such API change would cause problems for userspace).
