mmap: fix calculation of is_private_anonymous variable
Currently is_private_anonymous is calculated as true if _either_
MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_ANONYMOUS is set, which is a mistake.
According to Documentation/vm/ksm.txt, "KSM only merges anonymous
(private) pages, never pagecache (file) pages". MAP_PRIVATE can
still be set on file cache pages so in order to not redundantly
set MADV_MERGEABLE on pages that are not fitted for it, both
MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_ANONYMOUS should be set.
Along with this fix, add an extra check that the mapped page is
not a stack page before setting MADV_MERGEABLE for it. Stack pages
change too quickly and always end up in KSM 'page_volatile' list.
