This adds the general_profit KSM sysfs knob and the process profit metric
knobs to ksm_stat.
1) expose general_profit metric
The documentation mentions a general profit metric, however this
metric is not calculated. In addition the formula depends on the size
of internal structures, which makes it more difficult for an
administrator to make the calculation. Adding the metric for a better
user experience.
2) document general_profit sysfs knob
3) calculate ksm process profit metric
The ksm documentation mentions the process profit metric and how to
calculate it. This adds the calculation of the metric.
4) mm: expose ksm process profit metric in ksm_stat
This exposes the ksm process profit metric in /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
The documentation mentions the formula for the ksm process profit
metric, however it does not calculate it. In addition the formula
depends on the size of internal structures. So it makes sense to
expose it.
5) document new procfs ksm knobs

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate
any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script
on its output result.
Address them, in order to provide a clean output.
