The __add_zone() maybe call sleep-able init_currently_empty_zone()
to init wait_table,

But this function also modifies the zone_start_pfn without any lock.
It is bugy.

So we move this modification out, and we ensure the modification
of zone_start_pfn is only done with zone_span_writelock() held or in booting.

Since zone_start_pfn is not modified by init_currently_empty_zone()
grow_zone_span() needs to check zone_start_pfn before update it.

then how can mminit_dprintk print zone->zone_start_pfn ? always print 0 make no sense.
