Change data types of ksm_run and ksm_stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs
as there were a few discrepancies between the types and actual values
that were stored:
1) ksm_run is declared as unsigned long but in run_store(), it is
converted to unsigned int. Change its type to unsigned int.
2) ksm_stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs is declared as int, but in
stable__node_chains_prune_millisecs_store(), it can store values up to
UINT_MAX. Change its type to unsigned int.

NAK to that part.
Compiling with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE=y would show you why.
Search for where ksm_run is used: in one place
wait_on_bit(&ksm_run, ilog2(KSM_RUN_OFFLINE), TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
and wait_on_bit() operates on an unsigned long *word.
Before that wait while offlining, yes, ksm_run used to be an unsigned int.
But there is nothing to be fixed by changing it to an unsigned int now.
Save four bytes? Better look elsewhere if you want to save four bytes.

Sorry, that didn't work out so well.
