[LTP] [PATCH 2/4] mm/ksm: extend 'max_page_sharing' before ksm testing

This kernel commit (de39e60a6, ksm: introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page...)
introduced a new KSM sysfs knob '/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_page_sharing' in linux-next.

The runtime value of 'max_page_sharing' will affect pages_shared/pages_sharing,
because this enforces a deduplication limit to avoid the virtual memory rmap lists
to grow too large.

ltp/ksm0* tests can easily get failures on that kernel like:
-----
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  wait for all children to stop.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  KSM merging...
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  resume all children.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  child 2 stops.
...
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  run is 1.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  pages_shared is 384.
ksm01       1  TFAIL  :  mem.c:238: pages_shared is not 2.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  pages_sharing is 97920.
ksm01       2  TFAIL  :  mem.c:238: pages_sharing is not 98302.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  pages_volatile is 0.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  pages_unshared is 0.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  sleep_millisecs is 0.
ksm01       0  TINFO  :  pages_to_scan is 98304.

This patch is intened to extend the 'max_page_sharing' value dynamically to
make tests pass.
