Subject: mm/vmalloc: explicitly identify vm_map_ram area when shown in /proc/vmcoreinfo
Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2023 16:40:17 +0800

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.
