Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm/ksm: calculate general_profit more accurately

The memory resource of KSM is mainly ksm_rmap_item, which has to allocate
for each anon page that mm has mapped on. Another memory resource is the
ksm_stable_node, which is much less than the ksm_rmap_item.

We can account it easily to make general_profit calculation more accurate.
This is important when max_page_sharing is limited and so we have more
chained nodes.
