mm/ksm: fix ksm_pages_scanned accounting

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm/ksm: fix some accounting problems", v3.

We encountered some abnormal ksm_pages_scanned and ksm_zero_pages during
some random tests.

1. ksm_pages_scanned unchanged even ksmd scanning has progress.
2. ksm_zero_pages maybe -1 in some rare cases.


This patch (of 2):

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.
