mm/vmalloc: skip the uninitilized vmalloc areas
For areas allocated via vmalloc_xxx() APIs, it searches for unmapped area
to reserve and allocates new pages to map into, please see function
__vmalloc_node_range(). During the process, flag VM_UNINITIALIZED is set
in vm->flags to indicate that the pages allocation and mapping haven't
been done, until clear_vm_uninitialized_flag() is called to clear
VM_UNINITIALIZED.
For this kind of area, if VM_UNINITIALIZED is still set, let's ignore it
in vread() because pages newly allocated and being mapped in that area
only contains zero data. reading them out by aligned_vread() is wasting
time.
