Changelog:
 *v4 -> v5: return directly for !VM_VM_AREA case and remove (VM_LAZY_FREE | 
VM_LAZY_FREEING) check
 *v5 -> v6: add KOSAKI's ack

There is a race window between vmap_area tear down and show vmap_area 
information.

                unmap_vmap_area
                free_vmap_area_noflush
                        va->flags |= VM_LAZY_FREE

The assumption !VM_VM_AREA represents vm_map_ram allocation is introduced by
commit: d4033afd(mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist, in
vmallocinfo()). However, !VM_VM_AREA also represents vmap_area is being tear
down in race window mentioned above. This patch fix it by don't dump any
information for !VM_VM_AREA case and also remove (VM_LAZY_FREE | 
VM_LAZY_FREEING)
check since they are not possible for !VM_VM_AREA case.
