ksm: perform a range-walk in break_ksm

Make break_ksm() receive an address range and change break_ksm_pmd_entry()
to perform a range-walk and return the address of the first ksm page
found.

This change allows break_ksm() to skip unmapped regions instead of
iterating every page address.  When unmerging large sparse VMAs, this
significantly reduces runtime.

In a benchmark unmerging a 32 TiB sparse virtual address space where only
one page was populated, the runtime dropped from 9 minutes to less then 5
seconds.
