mm/ksm: add pages scanned metric

Browse Source 
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.
