Hmm, if we don't update lruvec_zone(lruvec) when a node is onlined,
lruver_zone(lruvec) contains a invalid pointer, so we should check
all place that accesses lruvec_zone(lruvec). We store zone in lruvec
but we can't access it. And we can't avoid to access it in the
furture. So I think it is better to update it when the node is
onlined.
