ksm: cleanup stable_node chain collapse case

Patch series "KSMscale cleanup/optimizations".

There are no fixes here it's just minor cleanups and optimizations.

1/3 removes makes the "fix" for the stale stable_node fall in the
    standard case without introducing new cases.  Setting stable_node to
    NULL was marginally safer, but stale pointer is still wiped from the
    caller, this looks cleaner.

2/3 should fix the false positive from Dan's static checker.

3/3 is a microoptimization to apply the the refile of future merge
    candidate dups at the head of the chain in all cases and to skip it in
    one case where we did it and but it was a noop (to avoid checking if
    it was already at the head but now we've to check it anyway so it got
    optimized away).

This patch (of 3):

When the stable_node chain is collapsed we can as well set the caller
stable_node to match the returned stable_node_dup in chain_prune().

This way the collapse case becomes indistinguishable from the regular
stable_node case and we can remove two branches from the KSM page
migration handling slow paths.

While it was all correct this looks cleaner (and faster) as the caller has
to deal with fewer special cases.
