Currently when we do memremap_pages() we have

	memremap_pages() ->
		pagemap_range() ->
			move_pfn_range_to_zone() ->
				set_zone_contiguous();
 
Once set_zone_contiguous() is moved out from move_pfn_range_to_zone(),
memremap_pages() path never calls it.
I'm not sure if the pages added in memremap_pages() are online, but to keep
it's current behaviour I think it should call set_zone_contiguous()
explicitly.
