Subject: mm/ksm: initialize the addr only once in collect_procs_ksm

Patch series "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()", v2.

In collect_procs_ksm() which is used to collect processes when the error
hit an ksm page, there is the same issue with rmap_walk_ksm (see the
previous discussion at [1]).  So we apply the similar logic changes to the
collect_procs_ksm().

The patch [1/2] move the initializaion of addr from the position inside
loop to the position before the loop, since the variable will not change
in the loop.

The patch [2/2] optimize collect_procs_ksm by passing a suitable page
offset range to the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach loop to reduce
ineffective checks.


This patch (of 2):

Similar to 318d87b8fa7 ("ksm: initialize the addr only once in
rmap_walk_ksm"), only initialize the addr once in rmap_walk_ksm because
the addr variable doesn't change across iterations.
