[PATCH] memory hotplug: memmap_init_zone called twice.

[Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>]

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

__add_zone calls memmap_init_zone twice if memory gets attached to
an empty zone. Once via init_currently_empty_zone and once explictly
right after that call.
Looks like this is currently not a bug, however the call is
superfluous and might lead to subtle bugs if memmap_init_zone gets
changed. So make sure it is called only once.
