I find a problem introduced by this patch, and the following is the fix:
Do I need to merge them into a single patch?

Subject: [PATCH] memory-hotplug: build zonelist if a zone is populated after onlining pages
After "memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before onlining pages", we
build zone list before onlining pages to allocate zone's pcp. But the
zone doesn't have pages before onlining pages, and the zone is not in
zonelist, so we still need to build zonelist after onlining pages.
