mm: fix null-ptr-deref in kswapd_is_running()
kswapd_run/stop() will set pgdat->kswapd to NULL, which could race with
kswapd_is_running() in kcompactd(),
kswapd_run/stop() kcompactd()
kswapd_is_running()
pgdat->kswapd // error or nomal ptr
verify pgdat->kswapd
// load non-NULL
pgdat->kswapd
pgdat->kswapd = NULL
task_is_running(pgdat->kswapd)
// Null pointer derefence
KASAN reports the null-ptr-deref shown below,
vmscan: Failed to start kswapd on node 0

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in kcompactd+0x440/0x504

At present kswapd/kcompactd_run() and kswapd/kcompactd_stop() are protected
by mem_hotplug_begin/done(), but without kcompactd(). There is no need to
involve memory hotplug lock in kcompactd(), so let's add a new mutex to
protect pgdat->kswapd accesses.
Also, because the kcompactd task will check the state of kswapd task, it's
better to call kcompactd_stop() before kswapd_stop() to reduce lock
conflicts.
