Subject: [PATCH 0/4] mm/ksm: fix some accounting problems

We encounter some abnormal ksm_pages_scanned and ksm_zero_pages during
some random tests.

1. ksm_pages_scanned unchanged even ksmd scanning has progress.
2. ksm_zero_pages maybe -1 in some rare cases.

The first two patches fix these problems and the last two patches are
minor optimizations about ksm_stable_node and general_profit calculation.

Thanks for review and comments!
