Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/2] mm, vmalloc: Check VM_UNINITIALIZED flag in s_show
 instead of show_numa_info

From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@...fujitsu.com>

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.
