mm: memory-failure: refactor add_to_kill()

Patch series "mm: ksm: support hwpoison for ksm page", v2.

Currently, ksm does not support hwpoison.  As ksm is being used more
widely for deduplication at the system level, container level, and process
level, supporting hwpoison for ksm has become increasingly important. 
However, ksm pages were not processed by hwpoison in 2009 [1].

The main method of implementation:

1. Refactor add_to_kill() and add new add_to_kill_*() to better
   accommodate the handling of different types of pages.

2.  Add collect_procs_ksm() to collect processes when the error hit an
   ksm page.

3. Add task_in_to_kill_list() to avoid duplicate addition of tsk to
   the to_kill list.  

4. Try_to_unmap ksm page (already supported).

5. Handle related processes such as sending SIGBUS.

Tested with poisoning to ksm page from
1) different process
2) one process

and with/without memory_failure_early_kill set, the processes are killed
as expected with the patchset.

This patch (of 2):

The page_address_in_vma() is used to find the user virtual address of page
in add_to_kill(), but it doesn't support ksm due to the ksm page->index
unusable, add an ksm_addr as parameter to add_to_kill(), let's the caller
to pass it, also rename the function to __add_to_kill(), and adding
add_to_kill_anon_file() for handling anonymous pages and file pages,
adding add_to_kill_fsdax() for handling fsdax pages.
