[PATCH 6.12.y] mm/vmalloc: fix data race in show_numa_info()

[PATCH 6.12.y] mm/vmalloc: fix data race in show_numa_info()

[Jeongjun Park]

commit 5c5f0468d172ddec2e333d738d2a1f85402cf0bc upstream.

The following data-race was found in show_numa_info():

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

read to 0xffff88800971fe30 of 4 bytes by task 8289 on cpu 0:
 show_numa_info mm/vmalloc.c:4936 [inline]
 vmalloc_info_show+0x5a8/0x7e0 mm/vmalloc.c:5016
 seq_read_iter+0x373/0xb40 fs/seq_file.c:230
 proc_reg_read_iter+0x11e/0x170 fs/proc/inode.c:299
....

write to 0xffff88800971fe30 of 4 bytes by task 8287 on cpu 1:
 show_numa_info mm/vmalloc.c:4934 [inline]
 vmalloc_info_show+0x38f/0x7e0 mm/vmalloc.c:5016
 seq_read_iter+0x373/0xb40 fs/seq_file.c:230
 proc_reg_read_iter+0x11e/0x170 fs/proc/inode.c:299
....

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.

Same comments on the 6.15 version, why change this line?
