memory hotplug: memmap_init_zone called twice

heicarst · torvalds · commit c3723ca3874a · 2008-05-14T19:11:14.000-07:00
__add_zone calls memmap_init_zone twice if memory gets attached to an empty
zone.  Once via init_currently_empty_zone and once explictly right after that
call.

Looks like this is currently not a bug, however the call is superfluous and
might lead to subtle bugs if memmap_init_zone gets changed.  So make sure it
is called only once.
