From: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn>

In /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, Add two extra ksm involvement items including
KSM_mergeable and KSM_merge_any. It helps administrators to
better know the system's KSM behavior at process level.

KSM_mergeable: yes/no
	whether any VMAs of the process'mm are currently applicable to KSM.

KSM_merge_any: yes/no
	whether the process'mm is added by prctl() into the candidate list
	of KSM or not, and fully enabled at process level.

Changelog
=========
v3 -> v4:
    1. Keep the name of ksm items consistent in /proc/pid/ksm_stat.
	   * KSM_mergeable -> ksm_mergeable
	   * KSM_merge_any -> ksm_merge_any
    2. Hold the read lock of mmap while calling ksm_process_mergeable()
    Suggested-by:
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/cec0ed06-b5d0-45aa-ad2b-eaca6dd7bacb@redhat.com/

v2 -> v3:
        Update the KSM_mergeable getting method: loop up if any vma is
        mergeable to KSM.
		https://lore.kernel.org/all/bc0e1cdd-2d9d-437c-8fc9-4df0e13c48c0@redhat.com/

v1 -> v2:
        replace the internal flag names with straightforward strings.
        * MMF_VM_MERGEABLE -> KSM_mergeable
        * MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY -> KSM_merge_any

It's hard for me to judge the usefulness of this.  Please tell us more:
usage examples, what actions have been taken using this information, etc.

Could we simply display VM_MERGEABLE in /proc/<pid>/maps?

Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst will require an update please.

Could do the locking in ksm_process_mergeable()?

Calling seq_printf() after the mmap_read_unlock() would be a little
more scalable.

That sentence needs revisiting, please.
