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 it. 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.
