[PATCH 03/16] pstore/ram_core: Do not reset restored zone's position and size

Otherwise, the files will survive just one reboot, and on a subsequent
boot they will disappear.

Also, as noticed by Colin Cross, this also causes an interesting behavior
change in the console logging. Before this change, the console log would
show only the messages from the last reboot.  After this change, the
console log will have logs from multiple boots appended to each other.

Now to get the only most recent messages we can do:

	tac ramoops-console | sed '/^Linux version.*(.*@.*)/ q' | tac
