mm/ksm: fix ksm_zero_pages accounting
We normally ksm_zero_pages++ in ksmd when page is merged with zero page,
but ksm_zero_pages-- is done from page tables side, where there is no any
accessing protection of ksm_zero_pages.
So we can read very exceptional value of ksm_zero_pages in rare cases,
such as -1, which is very confusing to users.
Fix it by changing to use atomic_long_t, and the same case with the
mm->ksm_zero_pages.

Fixes: e2942062e01d ("ksm: count all zero pages placed by KSM")
Fixes: 6080d19f0704 ("ksm: add ksm zero pages for each process")
