online_pages() does build_all_zonelists() and zone_pcp_update(),
I think offline_pages() should do it too. The node has no memory
to allocate, so remove this node's zones form other nodes' zonelists.

The node is still onlined now, so there is no need to pass
this node's pgdat to build_all_zonelists().

I think we should build all zonelists when the zone has no
pages.

There is more than one zone in a node. So the zone can have
no pages when the node has some pages.

And we have called drain_all_pages(), I think there is no need
to call zone_pcp_update() here.

Thanks
