x86/mm/32: Set the '__vmalloc_start_set' flag in initmem_init()

Browse Source 
'__vmalloc_start_set' currently only gets set in initmem_init() when
!CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES. This breaks detection of vmalloc address
with virt_addr_valid() with CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y, causing
a kernel crash:

  [mm/usercopy] 517e1fbeb6: kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:78!

Set '__vmalloc_start_set' appropriately for that case as well.
