mm: extend KSM refcounts to the anon_vma root

Browse Source 
KSM reference counts can cause an anon_vma to exist after the processe it
belongs to have already exited.  Because the anon_vma lock now lives in
the root anon_vma, we need to ensure that the root anon_vma stays around
until after all the "child" anon_vmas have been freed.

The obvious way to do this is to have a "child" anon_vma take a reference
to the root in anon_vma_fork.  When the anon_vma is freed at munmap or
process exit, we drop the refcount in anon_vma_unlink and possibly free
the root anon_vma.

The KSM anon_vma reference count function also needs to be modified to
deal with the possibility of freeing 2 levels of anon_vma.  The easiest
way to do this is to break out the KSM magic and make it generic.

When compiling without CONFIG_KSM, this code is compiled out.
