[Crash-utility] [PATCH] SIAL ps.c: Fix wrong access to .counter on non-SMP kernels

This patch fixes following SIAL error when loading ps.c SIAL sample script on a
non-SMP system (kernel):

    File /usr/share/sial/crash/ps.c, line 130, Error: Expression \
        for member 'counter' is not a struct/union

The problem behind is that mm_counter_t is defined as 'unsigned long' on
systems which have NR_CPUS < CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS (in practise for
distribution kernels, that are only UMP kernels -- I don't know how to test for
that condition in SIAL).
