mm/mapping_dirty_helpers: guard hugepage pud's usage

Mapping dirty helpers have, so far, been only used on X86, but a port of
vmwgfx to ARM64 exposed a problem which results in a compilation error
on ARM64 systems:

  mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c: In function `wp_clean_pud_entry':
  mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c:172:32: error: implicit declaration of function `pud_dirty'; did you mean `pmd_dirty'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

This is due to the fact that mapping_dirty_helpers code assumes that
pud_dirty is always defined, which is not the case for architectures
that don't define CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.

ARM64 arch is a little inconsistent when it comes to PUD hugepage
helpers, e.g. it defines pud_young but not pud_dirty but regardless of
that the core kernel code shouldn't assume that any of the PUD hugepage
helpers are available unless CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
is defined.  This prevents compilation errors whenever one of the
drivers is ported to new architecture...
