[PATCH v4 3/9] mm/page_alloc: prevent creation of empty zones

[Doug Berger]

If none of the pages a zone spans are present then its start pfn
and span should be zeroed to prevent initialization.

This prevents the creation of an empty zone if all of its pages
are moved to a zone that would overlap it.

The real_size name is reverted to just size to reduce the burden
of supporting multiple realities.
