Jeongjun Park 5c5f0468d1 mm/vmalloc: fix data race in show_numa_info()
The following data-race was found in show_numa_info():

==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in vmalloc_info_show / vmalloc_info_show

value changed: 0x0000008f -> 0x00000000
==================================================================

According to this report,there is a read/write data-race because
m->private is accessible to multiple CPUs.  To fix this, instead of
allocating the heap in proc_vmalloc_init() and passing the heap address to
m->private, vmalloc_info_show() should allocate the heap.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
