It was needed because mem_cgroup_zone_zoneinfo() used zone_to_nid().
Mel's nodelru patches have since renamed it to mem_cgroup_nodeinfo()
and dropped the zone_to_nid() reference, that's why it's no longer
necessary.

[ I'd put it in after the nodelru patches, though, to maintain
bisectability on x86 over hexagon. ]
