mm/ksm.c: mark stable page dirty

The MADV_FREE patchset changes page reclaim to simply free a clean
anonymous page with no dirty ptes, instead of swapping it out; but KSM
uses clean write-protected ptes to reference the stable ksm page.  So be
sure to mark that page dirty, so it's never mistakenly discarded.
