Subject: [PATCH] mm/hotplug: prevent memory leak when reuse pgdat

When offline a node in try_offline_node, pgdat is not released. So that
pgdat could be reused in hotadd_new_pgdat. While we re-allocate
pgdat->per_cpu_nodestats if this pgdat is reused.

This patch prevents the memory leak by just allocate per_cpu_nodestats
when it is a new pgdat.

NOTE: This is not tested since I didn't manage to create a case to
offline a whole node. If my analysis is not correct, please let me know.
