[Patch]Fix spanned_pages is not updated at a case of memory hot-add take 2..

I fixed redundant parentheses and tested this fix updating
spanned_pages patch.

Andrew-san.
Please apply.

------------------
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.

This is for 2.6.17-rc4-mm3.
I tested this patch on Tiger4 with my node emulation.
