Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc: fix KPF_KSM reported for all anonymous pages

Reading /proc/kpageflags for any anonymous page returns KPF_KSM set, even
when KSM is not in use.  As a result, tools misclassify all anonymous
pages as KSM merged.

In stable_page_flags(), if the page is anonymous, then use (mapping &
FOLIO_MAPPING_KSM) check to identify if the anonymous page is KSM page.
However, FOLIO_MAPPING_KSM is FOLIO_MAPPING_ANON | FOLIO_MAPPING_ANON_KSM,
(mapping & FOLIO_MAPPING_KSM) check returns true for all anonymous pages.

To fix it, use FOLIO_MAPPING_ANON_KSM instead.
