Jiang Liu d8adde17e5 memory hotplug: fix invalid memory access caused by stale kswapd pointer
kswapd_stop() is called to destroy the kswapd work thread when all memory
of a NUMA node has been offlined.  But kswapd_stop() only terminates the
work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL.  The stale
pointer will prevent kswapd_run() from creating a new work thread when
adding memory to the memory-less NUMA node again.  Eventually the stale
pointer may cause invalid memory access.

An example stack dump as below. It's reproduced with 2.6.32, but latest
kernel has the same issue.
