Subject: [PATCH] mm: ksm: Consider the number of ksm_mm_slot in the
 general_profit calculation

The current version of KSM does not take into account the number of
used ksm_mm_slot. Therefore, when users want to obtain profits of
KSM, KSM omits the memory used for allocating ksm_mm_slots.

This patch introduces a new variable to keep track of the number of
allocated ksm_mm_slots. By doing so, KSM will be able to provide a
more accurate number of the gains made.
