Chengming Zhou 99ed145f46 mm/ksm: fix ksm_zero_pages accounting 
commit c2dc78b86e upstream.

We normally ksm_zero_pages++ in ksmd when page is merged with zero page,
but ksm_zero_pages-- is done from page tables side, where there is no any
accessing protection of ksm_zero_pages.

So we can read very exceptional value of ksm_zero_pages in rare cases,
such as -1, which is very confusing to users.

Fix it by changing to use atomic_long_t, and the same case with the
mm->ksm_zero_pages.

Fixes: e2942062e0 ("ksm: count all zero pages placed by KSM")
Fixes: 6080d19f07 ("ksm: add ksm zero pages for each process")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
