Yeah, I recompiled and copy bzImage to /boot to ensure the patch is
compiled in.

On the bare metal with 8 nodes and each node has 64 GB memory, node1~7
are hotpluggable and movable_node is added. After reboot, execute
"stress -m 200 -t 2h", by default the 200 processes will malloc/free
256MB continuously. Then hot remove one memory board on node1~7, it
always happened.
The progress is that all memory blocks on node1~7 are removable now,
accessing and reading them won't trigger the old trace now.

So how about using the patch I pasted before? It has an explanation and
test result is good.
