ksm: separate stable_node
Though we still do well to keep rmap_items in the unstable tree without a separate tree_item at the node, for several reasons it becomes awkward to keep rmap_items in the stable tree without a separate stable_node: lack of space in the nicely-sized rmap_item, the need for an anchor as rmap_items are removed, the need for a node even when temporarily no rmap_items are attached to it. So declare struct stable_node (rb_node to place it in the tree and hlist_head for the rmap_items hanging off it), and convert stable tree handling to use it: without yet taking advantage of it. Note how one stable_tree_insert() of a node now has _two_ stable_tree_append()s of the two rmap_items being merged.
