Do not overwrite nr_zones on !NUMA when initialising zlcache_ptr

The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the
zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL.

Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[]
entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the
nr_zones field instead.

As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary,
the result is that kswapd never reclaims.  This causes processes to
stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim.
This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.
