    Patch series "add common struct mm_slot and use it in THP and KSM", v2.
    
    At present, both THP and KSM module have similar structures mm_slot for
    organizing and recording the information required for scanning mm, and
    each defines the following exactly the same operation functions:
    
     - alloc_mm_slot
     - free_mm_slot
     - get_mm_slot
     - insert_to_mm_slots_hash
    
    In order to de-duplicate these codes, this patchset introduces a common
    struct mm_slot, and lets THP and KSM to use it.
