mm/ksm: add pages_skipped metric

Browse Source 
This change adds the "pages skipped" metric.  To be able to evaluate how
successful smart page scanning is, the pages skipped metric can be
compared to the pages scanned metric.

The pages skipped metric is a cumulative counter.  The counter is stored
under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_skipped.
