Fixed.

Subject: Don't modify the zone_start_pfn outside of zone_span_writelock()

Original __add_zone() and new online_movable/online_kernel
maybe call sleep-able init_currently_empty_zone() to init wait_table,

but this function also modifies the zone_start_pfn without lock.
so we move this code out, and ensure the modification of zone_start_pfn is done
with zone_span_writelock() held or booting.

Since zone_start_pfn is not modified by init_currently_empty_zone()
grow_zone_span() needs to be updated to be aware of empty zone.
