mm/memory_hotplug: maintain N_NORMAL_MEMORY during hotplug
N_NORMAL_MEMORY is initialized from zone population at boot, but memory
hotplug currently only updates N_MEMORY. As a result, a node that gains
normal memory via hotplug can remain invisible to users iterating over
N_NORMAL_MEMORY, while a node that loses its last normal memory can stay
incorrectly marked as such.
The most visible effect is that
/sys/devices/system/node/has_normal_memory does not report a node even
after that node has gained normal memory via hotplug.
Also, list_lru-based shrinkers can undercount objects on such a node
and may skip reclaim on that node entirely, which can lead to a higher
memory footprint than expected.
Restore N_NORMAL_MEMORY maintenance directly in online_pages() and
offline_pages(). Set the bit when a node that currently lacks normal
memory onlines pages into a zone <= ZONE_NORMAL, and clear it when
offlining removes the last present pages from zones <= ZONE_NORMAL.
This restores the intended semantics without bringing back the old
status_change_nid_normal notifier plumbing which was removed in
8d2882a8edb8.
Current users that benefit include list_lru, zswap, nfsd filecache,
hugetlb_cgroup, and has_normal_memory sysfs reporting.
