Could we rename it to khg_mm_slot_cache in khugepaged?

Thanks for comments and sorry for response late.

yes, ksm_mm_slot_cache is better even in KSM code. As a cscope/tag dependency patient, this change could reduce much of confusing in name searching. And that's why a one-side change satisfies me.
Yes, maybe better naming could make it more readable, any more further help? :)

Thanks a lot!
