memory-hotplug: fix zone stat mismatch
During memory-hotplug, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE] are increasing,
causing the kernel to hang. When the system doesn't have enough free
pages, it enters reclaim but never reclaim any pages due to
too_many_isolated()==true and loops forever.
The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove,
__zone_pcp_update() clears a zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset()
although the vm_stat_diff of all CPUs still have values.
In addtion, when we offline all pages of the zone, we reset them in
zone_pcp_reset without draining so we loss some zone stat item.
