Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: check VM_UNINITIALIZED flag in s_show instead of show_numa_info

We should check the VM_UNITIALIZED flag in s_show().  If this flag is set,
that said, the vm_struct is not fully initialized.  So it is unnecessary
to try to show the information contained in vm_struct.

We checked this flag in show_numa_info(), but I think it's better
to check it earlier.
