It is incorrect to use next_node to find a target node, it will
return MAX_NUMNODES or invalid node. This will lead to crash in
buddy system allocation.
One possible place of crash is:
alloc_huge_page_node()
     dequeue_huge_page_node()
         [accesses h->hugepage_freelists[nid] with size MAX_NUMANODES]
