KVM: fix overflow of zero page refcount with ksm running
applies cleanly to v5.5.y, v5.4.y, 4.19.y, v4.14.y and v4.9.y.
I actually ran into that bug on 4.9.y
Thanks in advance,

Yes, indeed. It's not a trivial backport though, so I prefer to do it manually. I can help with that, or with reviews if Yanying already has patches ready.
Are you sure we are talking about the same commit? Or do I really see something wrong here? It's an one liner. Applies cleanly. Compiles. Don't know if it fixes the bug, though.
