Subject: memory-hotplug: add hot-added memory ranges to memblock before allocate node_data for a node.

f9126ab9241f66562de ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new
node") hot-added memory range to memblock, after creating pgdat for new
node.

But there is a problem:

add_memory()
|--> hotadd_new_pgdat()
     |--> free_area_init_node()
          |--> get_pfn_range_for_nid()
               |--> find start_pfn and end_pfn in memblock
|--> ......
|--> memblock_add_node(start, size, nid)    --------    Here, just too late.

get_pfn_range_for_nid() will find that start_pfn and end_pfn are both 0.
As a result, when adding memory, dmesg will give the following wrong message.

[ 2007.577000] Initmem setup node 5 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff]
[ 2007.584000] On node 5 totalpages: 0
[ 2007.585000] Built 5 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on.  Total pages: 32588823
[ 2007.594000] Policy zone: Normal
[ 2007.598000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000000-0x607ffffffff]

The solution is simple, just add the memory range to memblock a little
earlier, before hotadd_new_pgdat().
