This adds three new tests to the selftests for KSM. These tests use the
new prctl API's to enable and disable KSM.
1) add new prctl flags to prctl header file in tools dir
This adds the new prctl flags to the include file prct.h in the
tools directory. This makes sure they are available for testing.
2) add KSM prctl merge test to ksm_tests
This adds the -t option to the ksm_tests program. The -t flag
allows to specify if it should use madvise or prctl ksm merging.
3) add two functions for debugging merge outcome for ksm_tests
This adds two functions to report the metrics in /proc/self/ksm_stat
and /sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm. The debug output is enabled with the
-d option.
4) add KSM prctl test to ksm_functional_tests
This adds a test to the ksm_functional_test that verifies that the
prctl system call to enable / disable KSM works.
5) add KSM fork test to ksm_functional_test
Add fork test to verify that the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is inherited
by the child process.

There're two util headers under mm/ kselftest. Merge one with another.
It turns out util.h is the easy one to move.
When merging, drop PAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SHIFT because they're unnecessary
wrappers to page_size() / page_shift(), meanwhile rename them to psize()
and pshift() so as to not conflict with some existing definitions in some
test files that includes vm_util.h.

Rename selftets/vm to selftests/mm for being more consistent with the
code, documentation, and tools directories, and won't be confused with
virtual machines.
