Subject[PATCH] memory-hotplug: Clear pgdat which is allocated by bootmem in try_offline_node()
When hot adding the same memory after hot removing a memory,
the following messages are shown:

WARNING: CPU: 20 PID: 6 at mm/page_alloc.c:4968 free_area_init_node+0x3fe/0x426()

[<...>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x1b0/0x1b0

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() chacks 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().
