[PATCH v2 2/4] mm/ksm: add sysfs knobs for advisor

[Stefan Roesch]

This adds four new knobs for the KSM advisor to influence its behaviour.

The knobs are:
- advisor_mode:
    0: no advisor (default)
    1: scan time advisor
- advisor_min_cpu: 15 (default, cpu usage percent)
- advisor_max_cpu: 70 (default, cpu usage percent)
- advisor_min_pages: 500 (default)
- advisor_max_pages: 30000 (default)
- advisor_target_scan_time: 200 (default in seconds)

The new values will take effect on the next scan round.
