From: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/vmalloc: revert "mm/vmalloc.c: check VM_UNINITIALIZED flag in s_show instead of show_numa_info"

The VM_UNINITIALIZED/VM_UNLIST flag introduced by commit 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 move the check into show_numa_info in order that some messages
still can be dumped via /proc/vmallocinfo.

This patch revert commit d157a558 (mm/vmalloc.c: check VM_UNINITIALIZED
flag in s_show instead of show_numa_info);
