Subject: Fix potential use of out of range page in kmem_getpages.
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>


ZVC: Fix potential use of out of range page in kmem_getpages.

We use page_zone(page) following several page increments in kmem_getpages().
Which page in a zone we use really does not matter. However, we may reach an
invalid page and then oops.

So move the counter decrement before we increment page.
