[PATCH] fix comment: Mention current logic for vmalloc_start

[Aditya Gupta]

Previous comment is not valid anymore as for newer kernels we are
getting vmalloc_start from NUMBER(vmalloc_start)

The logic was changed in makedumpfile:
    commit 94241fd2feed ("[PATCH] ppc64: get vmalloc start address from vmcoreinfo")

Fix comment for better understanding.

patch should apply on commit 900190de6b67b2de410cfc8023c1b198a416ceb3
