mm, hotplug: move init_currently_empty_zone() under zone_span_lock protection
During online_pages phase, pgdat->nr_zones will be updated in case this zone is empty. Currently the online_pages phase is protected by the global locks (device_device_hotplug_lock and mem_hotplug_lock), which ensures there is no contention during the update of nr_zones. These global locks introduces scalability issues (especially the second one), which slow down code relying on get_online_mems(). This is also a preparation for not having to rely on get_online_mems() but instead some more fine grained locks. The patch moves init_currently_empty_zone under both zone_span_writelock and pgdat_resize_lock because both the pgdat state is changed (nr_zones) and the zone's start_pfn. Also this patch changes the documentation of node_size_lock to include the protection of nr_zones.
