Subject: mm/vmalloc: initialize VA's list node after unlink
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2022 11:34:47 +0200
A vmap_area can travel between different places. For example
attached/detached to/from different rb-trees. In order to prevent fancy
bugs, initialize a VA's list node after it is removed from the list, so it
pairs with VA's rb_node which is also initialized.
There is no functional change as a result of this patch.
