[PATCH v3 1/2] mm/ksm: fix ksm_pages_scanned accounting

[Chengming Zhou]

During testing, I found ksm_pages_scanned is unchanged although the
scan_get_next_rmap_item() did return valid rmap_item that is not NULL.

The reason is the scan_get_next_rmap_item() will return NULL after
a full scan, so ksm_do_scan() just return without accounting of the
ksm_pages_scanned.

Fix it by just putting ksm_pages_scanned accounting in that loop,
and it will be accounted more timely if that loop would last for
a long time.
