    let allPost = firebase.database().ref("all-post");
    let postAll = [];
    allPost.once("value").then(data => {
      data.forEach(function (childSnapshot) {
        let childData = childSnapshot.val();
        childData.postId = childSnapshot.key;
        let userInfo = firebase.database().ref(`users/${childData.uid}`);
        userInfo.once("value").then(data => {
          childData.userInfo = data;
          postAll.push(childData);        
        })
      })
    }).then(()=>{
      this.setState({ allPost: postAll,loading: false  },);
    }).catch(err => {
      this.setState({ loading: false });
    });
  }

As Josh commented, you're not handling the fact that all your userInfo.once() calls are asynchronous. This means that right now your this.setState({ allPost: postAll,loading: false },) call fires before the postAll.push(childData) happen. You should be able to easily see this by adding some console.log statements.

The solution is to wait until all the loading is finished, by using Promise.all():

let allPost = firebase.database().ref("all-post");
let postAll = [];
allPost.once("value").then(data => {
  let promises = [];
  data.forEach(function (childSnapshot) {
    let childData = childSnapshot.val();
    childData.postId = childSnapshot.key;
    let userInfo = firebase.database().ref(`users/${childData.uid}`);
    promises.push(
      userInfo.once("value").then(data => {
        childData.userInfo = data;
        postAll.push(childData);        
      })
    })
  })
  return Promise.all(promises);
}).then(()=>{
  this.setState({ allPost: postAll,loading: false },);
}).catch(err => {
  this.setState({ loading: false });
});
