Ok. How is like this patch? I changed wait_table_size() for it.
If there is no objection, I'll continue....

Thanks.

-----------------------------

This patch is to initialize wait table and zonelists for new pgdat.
When new node is added, free_area_init_node() is called to initialize
pgdat. But, wait table must be allocated by kmalloc (not bootmem) for it.
And, zonelists is accessed from any other process every time,
So, stop_machine_run() is used for safety update.
