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.
