ksm: stable_node point to page and back
Add a pointer to the ksm page into struct stable_node, holding a reference to the page while the node exists. Put a pointer to the stable_node into the ksm page's ->mapping. Then we don't need get_ksm_page() while traversing the stable tree: the page to compare against is sure to be present and correct, even if it's no longer visible through any of its existing rmap_items. And we can handle the forked ksm page case more efficiently: no need to memcmp our way through the tree to find its match.
