This reverts commit 26e7deadaae1755faf1f6d1a68988c4b8348df59.
Sonny reported that one of their tests started failing on the latest
kernel on their Chrome OS platform. The root cause is that the above
commit removed the protection line of empty zone, while the parser used
in the test relies on the protection line to mark the end of each zone.
Let's revert it to avoid breaking userspace testing or applications.

No objection since I noted userspace parsing as a potential risk in
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=158507790824995 but I didn't catch this
earlier patch which could have led to the same thing.
