Subject: mm/memory_hotplug.c: simplify node_states_check_changes_online
While looking at node_states_check_changes_online, I stumbled
upon some confusing things.
Right after entering the function, we find this:
if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;
This is wrong.
N_MEMORY cannot really be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
My guess is that this wanted to be something like:
if (N_NORMAL_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)
to check if we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
Later on, in the CONFIG_HIGHMEM block, we have:
if (N_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;
Again, this is wrong, and will never be evaluated to true.
Besides removing these wrong if statements, I simplified
the function a bit.
