Series mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas |

  Now, by marking VMAP_RAM in vmap_area->flags for vm_map_ram area, we
can clearly differentiate it with other vmalloc areas. So in s_show(),
change the ambiguous checking 'if (!va->vm) to clear
"if (!va->vm && (va->flags & VMAP_RAM))". This let's picks out
vm_map_ram area, and avoids the being unmapped normal vmalloc area to
be mistakenly recognized as vm_map_ram area.

Meanwhile, the code comment above vm_map_ram area checking in s_show()
is not needed any more, remove it here.
