[RESEND RFC PATCH v2 1/1] mm/vmalloc.c: simplify /proc/vmallocinfo implementation

[zijun_hu]

From: zijun_hu <zijun...@htc.com>

many seq_file helpers exist for simplifying implementation of virtual files
especially, for /proc nodes. however, the helpers for iteration over
list_head are available but aren't adopted to implement /proc/vmallocinfo
currently.

simplify /proc/vmallocinfo implementation by existing seq_file helpers

Signed-off-by: zijun_hu <zijun...@htc.com>

 Changes in v2:
  - the redundant type cast is removed as advised by rient...@google.com
  - commit messages are updated
