You still need to check zone_shift != 0, otherwise you may get duplicate 
output:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory256/valid_zones
Movable Normal Movable
$ cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory257/valid_zones
Movable Movable

I think you should initialize zone_shift here. It should be 0 if the 
function returns false.

	*zone_shift = 0;
