    mem-hotplug: avoid multiple zones sharing same boot strapping boot_pageset · 1f522509

    For each new populated zone of hotadded node, need to update its pagesets
    with dynamically allocated per_cpu_pageset struct for all possible CPUs:
    
        1) Detach zone->pageset from the shared boot_pageset
           at end of __build_all_zonelists().
    
        2) Use mutex to protect zone->pageset when it's still
           shared in onlined_pages()
    
    Otherwises, multiple zones of different nodes would share same boot strapping
    boot_pageset for same CPU, which will finally cause below kernel panic:
