ksm: treat unstable nid like in stable tree
An inconsistency emerged in reviewing the NUMA node changes to KSM: when meeting a page from the wrong NUMA node in a stable tree, we say that it's okay for comparisons, but not as a leaf for merging; whereas when meeting a page from the wrong NUMA node in an unstable tree, we bail out immediately. Now, it might be that a wrong NUMA node in an unstable tree is more likely to correlate with instablility (different content, with rbnode now misplaced) than page migration; but even so, we are accustomed to instablility in the unstable tree. Without strong evidence for which strategy is generally better, I'd rather be consistent with what's done in the stable tree: accept a page from the wrong NUMA node for comparison, but not as a leaf for merging.
