ksm: singly-linked rmap_list
Free up a pointer in struct rmap_item, by making the mm_slot's rmap_list a singly-linked list: we always traverse that list sequentially, and we don't even lose any prefetches (but should consider adding a few later). Name it rmap_list throughout. Do we need to free up that pointer? Not immediately, and in the end, we could continue to avoid it with a union; but having done the conversion, let's keep it this way, since there's no downside, and maybe we'll want more in future (struct rmap_item is a cache-friendly 32 bytes on 32-bit and 64 bytes on 64-bit, so we shall want to avoid expanding it).
