Since commit 9d3be21bf9c0 ("mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist
initialization") only zones with free memory are included in a built
zonelist. This is problematic when e.g. all memory of a zone has been
ballooned out.

Use populated_zone() when building a zonelist as it has been done
before that commit.

Let's see if we have to find another way to properly handle fadump.

TBH, I don't think this should matter here. A zone can always happen to
have no free memory left, so only handling this case when building the
zonelist can't be the full solution of that problem. It might trigger
a problem more easily, though.
