[PATCH 5/5] ksm: add zero_pages_sharing documentation

[xu.xin.sc@gmail.com]

From: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn>

When enabling use_zero_pages, pages_sharing cannot represent how
much memory saved indeed. zero_pages_sharing + pages_sharing does.
add the description of zero_pages_sharing.

 A high ratio of ``pages_sharing`` to ``pages_shared`` indicates good
 sharing, but a high ratio of ``pages_unshared`` to ``pages_sharing``
