Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] mm/ksm: unmerge and clear VM_MERGEABLE when setting PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0

Let's unmerge any KSM pages when setting PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0, and clear
the VM_MERGEABLE flag from all VMAs -- just like KSM would. Of course,
only do that if we previously set PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=1.
