Sorry, no, I just don't see a good reason to add this.
Imagine it this way: these aren't really faults, KSM simply
happens to be using "handle_mm_fault" to achieve what it needs.

(And, of course, if we did add something like this, I'd be
disagreeing with you about which tsk's min_flt to increment.)
