Now the implementation of stable_node_dup() causes chain()/chain_prune()
interfaces and usages are overcomplicated.

Why? stable_node_dup() only find and return a candidate stable_node for
sharing, so the users have to recheck using stable_node_dup_any() if any
non-candidate stable_node exist. And try to ksm_get_folio() from it again.

Actually, stable_node_dup() can just return a best stable_node as it can,
then the users can check if it's a candidate for sharing or not.

The code is simplified too and fewer corner cases: such as stable_node and
stable_node_dup can't be NULL if returned tree_folio is not NULL.
