Subject: mm, memory_hotplug: update pcp lists everytime onlining a memory block

When onlining a first memory block in a zone, pcp lists are not updated
thus pcp struct will have the default setting of ->high = 0,->batch = 1.

This means till the second memory block in a zone(if it have) is onlined
the pcp lists of this zone will not contain any pages because pcp's
->count is always greater than ->high thus free_pcppages_bulk() is called
to free batch size(=1) pages every time system wants to add a page to the
pcp list through free_unref_page().

To put this in a word, system is not using benefits offered by the pcp
lists when there is a single onlineable memory block in a zone.  Correct
this by always updating the pcp lists when memory block is onlined.
