ksm: break cow once unshared
We kept agreeing not to bother about the unswappable shared KSM pages which later become unshared by others: observation suggests they're not a significant proportion. But they are disadvantageous, and it is easier to break COW to replace them by swappable pages, than offer statistics to show that they don't matter; then we can stop worrying about them. Doing this in ksm_do_scan, they don't go through cmp_and_merge_page on this pass: give them a good chance of getting into the unstable tree on the next pass, or back into the stable, by computing checksum now.
