memory-hotplug: clear pgdat which is allocated by bootmem in try_offline_node()
When hot adding the same memory after hot removal, the following
messages are shown:

  WARNING: CPU: 20 PID: 6 at mm/page_alloc.c:4968 free_area_init_node+0x3fe/0x426()

The detaled explanation is as follows:

When hot removing memory, pgdat is set to 0 in try_offline_node().  But
if the pgdat is allocated by bootmem allocator, the clearing step is
skipped.

And when hot adding the same memory, the uninitialized pgdat is reused.
But free_area_init_node() checks wether pgdat is set to zero.  As a
result, free_area_init_node() hits WARN_ON().

This patch clears pgdat which is allocated by bootmem allocator in
try_offline_node().
