Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc.c: Fix potential memory leak

In VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES case, we should put pages and free array in vfree. But
we missed to set area->nr_pages in vmap(). So we would failed to put pages
in __vunmap() because area->nr_pages = 0.

Fixes: b944afc9d64d ("mm: add a VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES flag for vmap")
