[PATCH v4 2/2] mm: memory_hotplug: drop memoryless node from fallback lists

[Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>]

In offline_pages(), if a node becomes memoryless, we
will clear its N_MEMORY state by calling node_states_clear_node().
But we do this after rebuilding the zonelists by calling
build_all_zonelists(), which will cause this memoryless node to
still be in the fallback list of other nodes. This will incur
some runtime overhead.

To drop memoryless nodes from fallback lists in this case, just
call node_states_clear_node() before calling build_all_zonelists().
