mm/vmstat: add event for ksm swapping in copy
When faults in from swap what used to be a KSM page and that page had been swapped in before, system has to make a copy, and leaves remerging the pages to a later pass of ksmd. That is not good for performace, we'd better to reduce this kind of copy. There are some ways to reduce it, for example lessen swappiness or madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) range. So add this event to support doing this tuning. Just like this patch: "mm, THP, swap: add THP swapping out fallback counting".
