khugepaged: introduce 'max_ptes_shared' tunable 

'max_ptes_shared' specifies how many pages can be shared across multiple
processes.  Exceeding the number would block the collapse::

	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_shared

A higher value may increase memory footprint for some workloads.

By default, at least half of pages has to be not shared.
