memory-hotplug: clear pgdat which is allocated by bootmem in try_offline_node()
When hot adding the same memory after hot removal, the following messages are shown: WARNING: CPU: 20 PID: 6 at mm/page_alloc.c:4968 free_area_init_node+0x3fe/0x426() ... Call Trace: dump_stack+0x46/0x58 warn_slowpath_common+0x81/0xa0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 free_area_init_node+0x3fe/0x426 hotadd_new_pgdat+0x90/0x110 add_memory+0xd4/0x200 acpi_memory_device_add+0x1aa/0x289 acpi_bus_attach+0xfd/0x204 acpi_bus_attach+0x178/0x204 acpi_bus_scan+0x6a/0x90 acpi_device_hotplug+0xe8/0x418 acpi_hotplug_work_fn+0x1f/0x2b process_one_work+0x14e/0x3f0 worker_thread+0x11b/0x510 kthread+0xe1/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 The detaled explanation is as follows: When hot removing memory, pgdat is set to 0 in try_offline_node(). But if the pgdat is allocated by bootmem allocator, the clearing step is skipped. And when hot adding the same memory, the uninitialized pgdat is reused. But free_area_init_node() checks wether pgdat is set to zero. As a result, free_area_init_node() hits WARN_ON(). This patch clears pgdat which is allocated by bootmem allocator in try_offline_node().
