zone->free_area[order]->nr_free is corrupted, this patch fix it.

It looks there is no area->nr_free++ code during freeing pages, now.

It's corrupt because area is out of scope at that point - it's declared within the for loop above.

Should I move your fix into the loop or move the declaration of area to function scope?
