This certainly looks nicer.  But the naming is a bit goofy now because
you're talking about free areas, but there's no free area to be seen.
If anything, isn't it moving to a free_list[]?  It's actually going to
zone->free_area[]->free_list[], so the free area seems rather
inconsequential in the entire thing.  The (zone/order/migratetype)
combination specifies a free_list[] not a free area anyway.
