--------------------------------

wapd_run/stop() will set pgdat->kswapd to NULL, which could race with
kswapd_is_running() in kcompactd(),

kswapd_run/stop()	kcompactd()
			  kswapd_is_running()
				if (pgdat->kswapd) // load non-NULL pgdat->kswapd
  pgdat->kswapd = NULL
				task_is_running(pgdat->kswapd) // Null pointer derefence

The KASAN report the null-ptr-deref shown below,

  vmscan: Failed to start kswapd on node 0

For race between kswapd_run() and kcompactd(), adding a temporary value
when create a kthread, and only set it to pgdat->kswapd if kthread_run()
return successful task_struct to fix the issue.

For race between kswapd_stop() and kcompactd(), let's call
kcompactd_stop() before kswapd_stop() to fix the issue.
