[PATCH] Fix strange size check in __get_vm_area_node()

Recently, __get_vm_area_node() was changed like following

 	if (unlikely(!area))
 		return NULL;

-	if (unlikely(!size)) {
-		kfree (area);
+	if (unlikely(!size))
 		return NULL;
-	}

It is leaking `area', also original code seems strange already.
Probably, we wanted to do this patch.
