Subject: fadump: fix network bring up issue during default boot
References: bsc#1101730
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: 0ad221c8a81ee812b3afec6a9c873bd5bd1c228b

If ssh is used for dump target, kdump module enforces bringing up the
network (rd.neednet=1). If bringing up the network fails, it drops to
emergency shell. This sounds ok for a kdump kernel as it's only job is
to save dump to the specified dump target and reboot. But in case of
FADump, kdump module, which adds dump capturing support in the initrd,
is added to the regular initrd. If network bring up fails, production
kernel also falls to emergency shell while booting. Considering this
requirement has no relevance in booting a production kerne, that could
have been avoided. Fix it here by enforcing rd.neednet=1 only while
booting a capture kernel.
