I see what you mean. The headers for a node with no populated zones looks
a bit odd. I was briefly thrown by the check for N_HIGH_MEMORY wondering
why it was not a check for N_NORMAL_MEMORY. A double-check showed that
N_NORMAL_MEMORY only has meaning on CONFIG_HIGHMEM machines and a check for
"any memory on the node" should use N_HIGH_MEMORY which is what you do.

So, your patch looks correct but unfortunately it is whitespace-damaged
and would not apply as-is. I included a whitespace-fixed version below for
convenience with a slightly clearer leader which I have acked.

Thanks

==========
On memoryless node, /proc/pagetypeinfo outputs headers for nodes with no
populated zones. This is confusing as shown in the following example.

quoted text
>>>
Page block order: 14
Pages per block:  16384

Free pages count per migrate type at order       0      1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9     10     11     12     13     14     15     16

Number of blocks type     Unmovable  Reclaimable      Movable      Reserve      Isolate
Page block order: 14
Pages per block:  16384

Free pages count per migrate type at order       0      1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9     10     11     12     13     14     15     16

Note the headers with no zone information. This patch checks if the node
has any memory before outputting anything.
