memory hotplug: reset pgdat->kswapd to NULL if creating kernel thread fails
If kthread_run() fails, pgdat->kswapd contains errno. When we stop this
thread, we only check whether pgdat->kswapd is NULL and access it. If
it contains errno, it will cause page fault. Reset pgdat->kswapd to
NULL when creating kernel thread fails can avoid this problem.
