[PATCH v2 5/5] mm/memory_hotplug: online_pages cannot be 0 in online_pages()

[David Hildenbrand]

walk_system_ram_range() will fail with -EINVAL in case
online_pages_range() was never called (== no resource applicable in the
range). Otherwise, we will always call online_pages_range() with
nr_pages > 0 and, therefore, have online_pages > 0.

Remove that special handling.
