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

      Call Trace:
        refresh_cpu_vm_stats+0xd0/0x140
        vmstat_update+0x11/0x50
        process_one_work+0x194/0x3d0

        kthread+0xc6/0xd0
        ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0
    
    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.
