[PATCH 0/2] mm/ksm: optimize unstable_tree_search_insert()

[Chengming Zhou]

We use unstable_tree_search_insert() to find matched page or insert our
rmap_item into the unstable tree if no matched found.

Now it may return NULL too early in which cases we can do better:

1. get_mergeable_page() return NULL: which means tree_rmap_item is stale.
2. tree_page is migrated to another node and !ksm_merge_across_nodes.

In both cases, we can just remove the staled or migrated one out of the
unstable tree, so our rmap_item can be inserted successfully. The code
flow becomes clearer and may increase the merge possibility too.

Thanks for review and comments!
