[PATCH RFC 1/2] mm/memory_hotplug: no need to init new pgdat with node_start_pfn

[David Hildenbrand]

A hotadded node/pgdat will span no pages at all, until memory is moved to
the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() -> resize_pgdat_range - e.g.,
when onlining memory blocks. We don't have to initialize the
node_start_pfn to the memory we are adding.

Note: we'll also end up with pgdat->node_start_pfn == 0 when offlined the
last memory block belonging to a node (via remove_pfn_range_from_zone()->
update_pgdat_span()).
