Subject: [PATCH] memory-hotplug: fix zone stat mismatch

During memory-hotplug stress test, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE]
are increasing so that kernel are hang out.

The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove,
__zone_pcp_update clear out zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset
without draining vm_stat_diff of all CPU.

This patch fixes it.

Andrew, I think it's a candidate of stable but didn't Cced
stable.
Please send this patch to stable if reviewer couldn't find
any fault when you merge.

Thanks.
