Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm/hotplug: free zone->pageset when a zone becomes empty

When a zone becomes empty after memory offlining, free zone->pageset.
Otherwise it will cause memory leak when adding memory to the empty
zone again because build_all_zonelists() will allocate zone->pageset
for an empty zone.
