yes, but free_pages_bulk() works with zero pcp->count too. And the zone
might/might not populate before hotplug, so free the pages is always ok
here to me.


In my test, 128M memory is hot add, but zone's pcp batch is 0, which
is an obvious error. When pages are onlined, zone pcp should be
updated accordingly.

Include fixes suggested by Christoph Lameter and Andrew Morton.
