Since the ksm_merging_pages information already included in
/proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, we could remove /proc/<pid>/ksm_merging_pages
to make the directory more clean, and can save a little bit resources.
To delete this interface more smoothly and avoid userspace break,
retain this interface temporarily and modify its function to hint
users to use ksm_stat instead.
