Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm/ksm: union hlist_node with list_head in struct
 ksm_stable_node

The ksm_stable_node->hlist_node is used for linking on chain node hlist,
and ksm_stable_node->list_head is used for linking on migration list.

We always stable_node_dup_del() first before adding it on migration list
or list_del() first from migration list before adding it on stable tree.

So we can union hlist_node with list_head to save some memory.
