SLUB only fucus on the nodes which has normal memory, so ignore the other node's hot-adding and hot-removing. Aka: if some memroy of a node(which has no onlined memory) is online, but this new memory onlined is not normal memory(HIGH memory example), we should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB. And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memroy, we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node.(current code delay it when all of the memory is offlined) so we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0. marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here. The same problem doesn't exsit in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3 for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates kmem_list3 on alien nodes. SLUB only fucus on the nodes which has normal memory, it don't tolerates alien kmem_cache_node, the patch makes SLUB become self-compatible and avoid WARN and BUG in a rare condition.
