Now, by marking VMAP_RAM in vmap_area->flags for vm_map_ram area, we can clearly differentiate it with other vmalloc areas. So identify vm_map_area area by checking VMAP_RAM of vmap_area->flags when shown in /proc/vmcoreinfo. Meanwhile, the code comment above vm_map_ram area checking in s_show() is not needed any more, remove it here.
