mm/memory_hotplug.c: update start_pfn in zone and pg_data when spanned_pages == 0.
If we hot-remove memory only and leave the cpus alive, the corresponding
node will not be removed. But the node_start_pfn and node_spanned_pages
in pg_data will be reset to 0. In this case, when we hot-add the memory
back next time, the node_start_pfn will always be 0 because no pfn is less
than 0. After that, if we hot-remove the memory again, it will cause
kernel panic in function find_biggest_section_pfn() when it tries to scan
all the pfns.
The zone will also have the same problem.
This patch sets start_pfn to the start_pfn of the section being added when
spanned_pages of the zone or pg_data is 0.
---How to reproduce---
1. hot-add a container with some memory and cpus;
2. hot-remove the container's memory, and leave cpus there;
3. hot-add these memory again;
4. hot-remove them again;
then, the kernel will panic.
