ksm: five little cleanups
1. We don't use __break_cow entry point now: merge it into break_cow. 2. remove_all_slot_rmap_items is just a special case of remove_trailing_rmap_items: use the latter instead. 3. Extend comment on unmerge_ksm_pages and rmap_items. 4. try_to_merge_two_pages should use try_to_merge_with_ksm_page instead of duplicating its code; and so swap them around. 5. Comment on cmp_and_merge_page described last year's: update it.
