Subject: mm/vmalloc: move VM_UNINITIALIZED to just before show_numa_info

The VM_UNINITIALIZED/VM_UNLIST flag introduced by f5252e00 ("mm: avoid
null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfo") is used to avoid
accessing the pages field with unallocated page when show_numa_info() is
called.

This patch moves the check to just before show_numa_info in order that
some messages still can be dumped via /proc/vmallocinfo.
