Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] mm/memory_hotplug: Tidy up node_states_clear_node

From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@...e.de>

node_states_clear has the following if statements:

if ((N_MEMORY != N_NORMAL_MEMORY) &&
    (arg->status_change_nid_high >= 0))
        ...

if ((N_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) &&
    (arg->status_change_nid >= 0))
        ...

N_MEMORY can never be equal to neither N_NORMAL_MEMORY nor
N_HIGH_MEMORY.

Similar problem was found in [1].
Since this is wrong, let us get rid of it.
