commit b0dc3a342af36f95a68fe229b8f0f73552c5ca08 upstream.
Qiu Xishi reported the following BUG when testing hot-add/hot-remove node under
stress condition:

The cause is the "memset(pgdat, 0, sizeof(*pgdat))" at the end of
try_offline_node, which will reset all the content of pgdat to 0, as the
pgdat is accessed lock-free, so that the users still using the pgdat
will panic, such as the vmstat_update routine.
process A: offline node XX:
vmstat_updat()
refresh_cpu_vm_stats()
for_each_populated_zone()
find online node XX
cond_resched()
offline cpu and memory, then
try_offline_node()
node_set_offline(nid), and
memset(pgdat, 0, sizeof(*pgdat))
zone = next_zone(zone)
pg_data_t *pgdat = zone->zone_pgdat; // here pgdat is NULL now
next_online_pgdat(pgdat)
next_online_node(pgdat->node_id); // NULL pointer access
So the solution here is postponing the reset of obsolete pgdat from
try_offline_node() to hotadd_new_pgdat(), and just resetting
pgdat->nr_zones and pgdat->classzone_idx to be 0 rather than the memset
0 to avoid breaking pointer information in pgdat.
