This adds four new knobs for the KSM advisor to influence its behaviour.
The knobs are:
- advisor_mode:
none: no advisor (default)
scan-time: scan time advisor
- advisor_max_cpu: 70 (default, cpu usage percent)
- advisor_min_pages_to_scan: 500 (default)
- advisor_max_pages_to_scan: 30000 (default)
- advisor_target_scan_time: 200 (default in seconds)
The new values will take effect on the next scan round.

That renaming should go into the previous patch.

It probably makes sense to not reset the defaults if the ksm_advisor
didn't change.
Apart form that, LGTM.
