Paul Mackerras and Reza Arbab reported that machines with memoryless
nodes fail when vmstats are refreshed. Paul reported an oops as follows
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xff7a10000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000270cd0
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

Both supplied potential fixes but one potentially misses checks and
another had redundant initialisations. This version initialises
per_cpu_nodestats on a per-pgdat basis instead of on a per-zone basis.
