to zero. As a result, free_area_init_node() hits WARN_ON().
This patch clears pgdat which is allocated by bootmem allocator
in try_offline_node().

Do we still need this if-statement? That is, do we have to skip the
for-loop below even though it checks with is_vmalloc_addr()?
You are right. The if-statement is not necessary. So the issue can be
fixed by just removing the if-statement.
I'll post updated patch soon.
