When ex-KSM pages are faulted from swap cache, the fault handler is not capable of re-establishing anon_vma-spanning KSM pages. In this case, a copy of the page is created instead, just like during a COW break. These freshly made copies are known to be exclusive to the faulting VMA and there is no reason to go look for this page in parent and sibling processes during rmap operations. Use page_add_new_anon_rmap() for these copies. This also puts them on the proper LRU lists and marks them SwapBacked, so we can get rid of doing this ad-hoc in the KSM copy code.
