patch [1/3] and [2/3] is necessary for avoiding [3/3] break memory hotplug.
When memory hotplug occur, we need to update _all_ zone->present_pages related
vm parameters. otherwise they might become inconsistent and no workable.

more detail: [3/3] depend on setup_per_zone_wmarks() is always called after 
refresh_zone_stat_thresholds(). patch [1/3] and [2/3] does.
