Hello.
This patch is to fix unnecessary calling of init_currently_empty_zone().
zone->present_pages is updated in online_pages(). But,
__add_zone() can be called twice or more before calling online_pages().
So, init_currenty_empty_zone() can be called unnecessary times.
It is cause of memory leak of zone's wait_table.
This patch is tested on my ia64 box with 2.6.22-rc2-mm1.
