I has reviewed your patch. But I have one comment.
Please see below.

You should reset pgdat->node_present_pages.
pgdat->node_present_pages is set to realtotalpages by calculate_node_totalpages().
And it is also incremented/decremented by memroy online/offline.
So pgdat->node_present_pages is broken internally too.

Thanks,
