[PATCH v6 1/6] ksm: abstract the function try_to_get_old_rmap_item

[yang.yang29]

From: xu xin <xu.xin16@xxxxxxxxxx>

A new function try_to_get_old_rmap_item is abstracted from
get_next_rmap_item. This function will be reused by the subsequent
patches about counting ksm_zero_pages.

The patch improves the readability and reusability of KSM code.
