This adds four new knobs for the KSM advisor to influence its behaviour.

The knobs are:
- advisor_mode:
    0: no advisor (default)
    1: scan time advisor
- advisor_min_cpu: 15 (default, cpu usage percent)
- advisor_max_cpu: 70 (default, cpu usage percent)
- advisor_min_pages: 500 (default)
- advisor_max_pages: 30000 (default)
- advisor_target_scan_time: 200 (default in seconds)

The new values will take effect on the next scan round.

Is there a way we can avoid exposing advisor_min_pages/advisor_max_pages 
and just have this internal e.g., as defines?

Can we instead use human-readable strings?

"none" and "scan-time" should be clearer.

I'll change the interface to use strings instead of numbers.
