mm: build_zonelists(): move clear node_load[] to __build_all_zonelists()
If node_load[] is cleared everytime build_zonelists() is
called,node_load[] will have no help to find the next node that should
appear in the given node's fallback list.
Because of the bug, zonelist's node_order is not calculated as expected.
This bug affects on big machine, which has asynmetric node distance.
[synmetric NUMA's node distance]
0 1 2
0 10 12 12
1 12 10 12
2 12 12 10
[asynmetric NUMA's node distance]
0 1 2
0 10 12 20
1 12 10 14
2 20 14 10
This (my bug) is very old but no one has reported this for a long time.
Maybe because the number of asynmetric NUMA is very small and they use
cpuset for customizing node memory allocation fallback.
