Hi all,

At present, both THP and KSM module have similar structures mm_slot for
organizing and recording the information required for scanning mm, and
each defines the following exactly the same operation functions:

 - alloc_mm_slot
 - free_mm_slot
 - get_mm_slot
 - insert_to_mm_slots_hash

In order to de-duplicate these codes, this patchset introduces a common
struct mm_slot, and lets THP and KSM to use it.

This series is based on next-20220829.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Qi.
