IMO, this is the wrong place to initialise the page->area.  It should be
done in __vmalloc_area_node() like so:

                        area->nr_pages = i;
                        goto fail;
                }
+		page->area = area;
                area->pages[i] = page;
                if (gfpflags_allow_blocking(gfp_mask))
                        cond_resched();
