Subject: [PATCH mm-stable v2 3/3] mm/ksm: move disabling KSM from s390/gmap code to KSM code

Let's factor out actual disabling of KSM. The existing
"mm->def_flags &= ~VM_MERGEABLE;" was essentially a NOP and can be dropped,
because def_flags should never include VM_MERGEABLE. Note that we don't
currently prevent re-enabling KSM.

This should now be faster in case KSM was never enabled, because we only
conditionally iterate all VMAs. Further, it certainly looks cleaner.
