N_NORMAL_MEMORY is initialized from zone population at boot, but memory hotplug currently only updates N_MEMORY. As a result, a node that gains normal memory via hotplug can remain invisible to users iterating over N_NORMAL_MEMORY, while a node that loses its last normal memory can stay incorrectly marked as such. Restore N_NORMAL_MEMORY maintenance directly in online_pages() and offline_pages(). Set the bit when a node that currently lacks normal memory onlines pages into a zone <= ZONE_NORMAL, and clear it when offlining removes the last present pages from zones <= ZONE_NORMAL. This restores the intended semantics without bringing back the old status_change_nid_normal notifier plumbing which was removed in 8d2882a8edb8. Current users that benefit include list_lru, zswap, nfsd filecache, hugetlb_cgroup, and has_normal_memory sysfs reporting.
