[Crash-utility] [PATCH 4/5] diskname, zram: Notify necessity of loading zram module

By the previous commit, trying to read swapped-out-into-zram-disk
pages results in inaccessible memory error that is apparently
irrelevant to zram and users cannot find it necessary to load zram
module. Thus, let's add a warning message to indicate that.
