[Patch v4 8/8] memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before onlining pages

From: Wen Congyang
Date: Wed Oct 31 2012 - 07:49:48 EST


We use __free_page() to put a page to buddy system when onlining pages.
__free_page() will store NR_FREE_PAGES in zone's pcp.vm_stat_diff, so we
should allocate zone's pcp before onlining pages, otherwise we will lose
some free pages.
