Subject: x86/mm/32: Set the '__vmalloc_start_set' flag in initmem_init()
From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 861ce4a3244c21b0af64f880d5bfe5e6e2fb9e4a upstream.
'__vmalloc_start_set' currently only gets set in initmem_init() when
!CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES. This breaks detection of vmalloc address
with virt_addr_valid() with CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y, causing
a kernel crash:
[mm/usercopy] 517e1fbeb6: kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:78!
Set '__vmalloc_start_set' appropriately for that case as well.
