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.
