free_bootmem will assume use bdata on NODE_DATA(0).

some cases: four nodes system: only have memory installed for node 1,
and node 3.
alloc_bootmem will loop to get bootmem from node1, because there is no
ram node0, and not NODE_DATA(0) ...

we may update free_bootmem to loop all bdata or all online nodes to
call free_bootmem_core...
