Subject: [PATCH 04/17] mm: add helper ensure_zone_is_initialized()

From: Cody P Schafer <jmesmon@...il.com>

ensure_zone_is_initialized() checks if a zone is in a empty & not
initialized state (typically occuring after it is created in memory
hotplugging), and, if so, calls init_currently_empty_zone() to
initialize the zone.
