__vunmap must not rely on area->nr_pages when picking the
release methode for area->pages. It may be too small when
__vmalloc_area_node failed early due to lacking memory.
Instead, use a flag in vmstruct to differentiate.
Applies against 2.6.18-rc1, but sighted, developed, and
tested on a 2.6.16 kernel.
