[PATCH] spanned_pages is not updated at a case of memory hot-add

From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>

If hot-added memory's address is smaller than old area, spanned_pages will
not be updated.  It must be fixed.

example) Old zone_start_pfn = 0x60000, and spanned_pages = 0x10000
         Added new memory's start_pfn = 0x50000, and end_pfn = 0x60000

  new spanned_pages will be still 0x10000 by old code.
  (It should be updated to 0x20000.) Because old_zone_end_pfn will be
  0x70000, and end_pfn smaller than it. So, spanned_pages will not be
  updated.

In current code, spanned_pages is updated only when end_pfn is updated.
But, it should be updated by subtraction between bigger end_pfn and new
zone_start_pfn.
