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.
