memory-hotplug, mm/sparse.c: clear the memory to store struct page
If sparse memory vmemmap is enabled, we can't free the memory to store
struct page when a memory device is hotremoved, because we may store
struct page in the memory to manage the memory which doesn't belong to
this memory device. When we hotadded this memory device again, we will
reuse this memory to store struct page, and struct page may contain some
obsolete information, and we will get bad-page state:
init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x80000000-0x9fffffff]
Built 2 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 547617
Policy zone: Normal
BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:9b6dc
page:ffffea0002200020 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0xfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfd
page flags: 0x2fdfdfdfd5df9fd(locked|referenced|uptodate|dirty|lru|active|slab|owner_priv_1|private|private_2|writeback|head|tail|swapcache|reclaim|swapbacked|unevictable|uncached|compound_lock)

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
This patch clears the memory to store struct page to avoid unexpected error.
