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

==================================================================
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.
