mm/ksm: add pages scanned metric
ksm currently maintains several statistics, which let you determine how
successful KSM is at sharing pages. However it does not contain a metric
to determine how much work it does.
This commit adds the pages scanned metric. This allows the administrator
to determine how many pages have been scanned over a period of time.
