The error handling in mem_online_node() is incorrect: hotadd_new_pgdat()
returns NULL if the new pgdat could not have been allocated and a pointer
to it otherwise.
mem_online_node() should fail if hotadd_new_pgdat() fails, not the
inverse. This fixes an issue when memoryless nodes are not onlined and
their sysfs interface is not registered when their first cpu is brought
up.
