Subject: [RESEND RFC PATCH v1 20/20] selftests/vm: add two functions for debugging merge outcome

This adds two functions to report the metrics in /proc/self/ksm_stat and
/sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm.

The debugging can be enabled with the following command line:
make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS="vm" --keep-going \
        EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DDEBUG=1
