Caused by memory-hotplug-allocate-zones-pcp-before-onlining-pages.patch.
And fixed by. Andrew either fold this one in to the above one or keep it
separate what works better with you.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: make zone_pcp_reset independ on MEMORY_HOTREMOVE

340175b7 (mm/hotplug: free zone->pageset when a zone becomes empty)
introduced zone_pcp_reset and hided it inside CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.
Since "memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before onlining pages" the
function is also called from online_pages which is defined outside
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE which causes a linkage error.

The function, although not used outside of MEMORY_{HOTPLUT,HOTREMOVE},
seems like universal enough so let's keep it at its current location
and only remove the HOTREMOVE guard.
