The commit below adds hot-added memory range to memblock, after
creating pgdat for new node.

memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new node
But there is a problem:
add_memory()
|--> hotadd_new_pgdat()
|--> free_area_init_node()
|--> get_pfn_range_for_nid()
|--> find start_pfn and end_pfn in memblock
|--> ......
|--> memblock_add_node(start, size, nid) -------- Here, just too late.
get_pfn_range_for_nid() will find that start_pfn and end_pfn are both 0.
As a result, when adding memory, dmesg will give the following wrong message.
[ 2007.577000] Initmem setup node 5 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff]
[ 2007.584000] On node 5 totalpages: 0
[ 2007.585000] Built 5 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total
pages: 32588823
[ 2007.594000] Policy zone: Normal
[ 2007.598000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000000-0x607ffffffff]
The solution is simple, just add the memory range to memblock a little earlier,
before hotadd_new_pgdat().
