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, as confirmed by benchmark test (see
cover letter).
