Subject[PATCH 1/2 V2] memory_hotplug: fix possible incorrect node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
Date
Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY],
it forgets to manage node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. it may cause
node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] becomes incorrect.

Example, if a node is empty before online, and we online a memory
which is in ZONE_NORMAL. And after online, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
is correct, but node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] is incorrect,
the online code don't set the new online node to
node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].

The same things like it will happen when offline(the offline code
don't clear the node from node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] when needed).
Some memory managment code depends node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY],
so we have to fix up the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].

We add node_states_check_changes_online() and node_states_check_changes_offline()
to detect whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] and node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
are changed while hotpluging.

Also add @status_change_nid_normal to struct memory_notify, thus
the memory hotplug callbacks know whether the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
are changed. (We can add a @flags and reuse @status_change_nid instead of
introducing @status_change_nid_normal, but it will add much more complicated
in memory hotplug callback in every subsystem. So introdcing
@status_change_nid_normal is better and it don't change the sematic
of @status_change_nid)

Changed from V1:
add more comments
change the function name
