[PATCH 5/10] memory-hotplug : memory-hotplug: check page type in get_page_bootmem

The function get_page_bootmem() may be called more than one time to the same
page. There is no need to set page's type, private if the function is not
the first time called to the page.

Note: the patch is just optimization and does not fix any problem.
