mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug zonelist
During memory hotplug we refresh zonelists when we online a page in a new zone. It means that the node's zonelist is not initialized until pages are onlined. So for example, "nid" passed by MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier will point to NODE_DATA(nid) which has no zone fallback list. Moreover, if we hot-add cpu-only nodes, alloc_pages() will do no fallback. This patch makes a zonelist when a new pgdata is available. Note: in production, at fujitsu, memory should be onlined before cpu and our server didn't have any memory-less nodes and had no problems. But recent changes in MEM_GOING_ONLINE+page_cgroup will access not initialized zonelist of node. Anyway, there are memory-less node and we need some care.
