mm/memory_hotplug.c: prevent memory leak when reusing pgdat

Browse source

When offlining a node in try_offline_node(), pgdat is not released.  So
that pgdat could be reused in hotadd_new_pgdat().  While we reallocate
pgdat->per_cpu_nodestats if this pgdat is reused.

This patch prevents the memory leak by just allocating per_cpu_nodestats
when it is a new pgdat.
