[PATCH] mem-hotplug: Use nodes that contain memory as mask in new_node_page()

[Li Zhong <zhong@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Commit 9bb627be47a5 ("mem-hotplug: don't clear the only node in
new_node_page()") prevents allocating from an empty nodemask, but as David
points out, it is still wrong. As node_online_map may include memoryless
nodes, only allocating from these nodes is meaningless.

This patch uses node_states[N_MEMORY] mask to prevent the above case.
