After commit "mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones
until online", the meaning of valid_zones is changed.
1. When the memory block is online, it returns the onlined zone name
2. We won't have "Movable Normal" case, because default_zone couldn't be
MOVABLE
This patch adjust the document according the code change.
