I saw a patch from Jiang Liu "mm/hotplug: free zone->pageset when a
zone becomes empty" to
free the zone->pageset and i think there may more cleanup needed when
a zone becomes empty.

We already have __add_zone() in __add_section(), what about add a
function like __remove_zone()
to do the cleanup here?
