Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ksm: abstract the function try_to_get_old_rmap_item

From: xu xin <xu.xin16@....com.cn>

A new function try_to_get_old_rmap_item is abstracted from
get_next_rmap_item. This function will be reused by the subsequent
patches about counting ksm_zero_pages.

At the same time, the patch improves the readability and reusability
of KSM code.
