I think it's better to call calculate_node_totalpages only if node actually has 
memory and for node with no memory we just need to make sure all the node
and zone page counts are indeed set to 0.

Then the condition here and in zone_spanned_pages_in_node() can be removed
along with the comment and patch 2 won't be required at all.
