[PATCH v4 3/4] mm/vmalloc: revert "mm/vmalloc.c: check VM_UNINITIALIZED flag in s_show instead of show_numa_info"

[Wanpeng Li]

Changelog:
 *v2 -> v3: revert commit d157a558 directly

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 just before 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);
