Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
CPU: 1 PID: 6541 Comm: syz-executor2-n Not tainted 5.18.0-rc5+ #107
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014
The ksm_run is alread protected by ksm_thread_mutex in run_store, we
could add this lock in __ksm_enter() to avoid the above issue.
