From: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@xxxxxxxxxx>
When faults in from swap what used to be a ksm page and that page
had been swapped in before, system has to make a copy. Obviously
this kind of copy is related to high memory pressure, so we treat
it as memstall. Although ksm page merging is not because of high
memory pressure.
Information of this new kind of stall will help psi to account
memory pressure more precise.
