systemd sets /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to use systemd-coredump.
However, systemd-coredump is missing from initrd, making dumping
the core in initrd impossible by default.
Reference: bsc#1054809
Currently in Fedora/RedHat dracut installs its fedora.conf.example
as the default config file, in which sysloglvl is set 5. This leads
to maxloglvl=5 in dracut calls, making unnecessary lsinitrd calls
during initramfs builds by kdump.
This patch disables lsinitrd logging when --quiet option is given,
which is controlled by maxloglvl only before. This will speed up
dracut image building as the following if --quiet is used in kdump:

In case of "--no-hostonly-default-device", we do not need
the root device, thus add this check.
Also fixed the stale "root_dev" export.

Kdump doesn't need default host devices like root, swap, fstab, etc,
we only care about the dump target which can be added via "--mount"
or "--add-device". We met several issues that kdump kernel failed
due to one of those host devices added by dracut, additionally, the
needless devices(e.g. LVM) consume some appreciable amount of memory
which is more likely to cause OOM under memory-limited kdump.
So this patch introduced "--no-hostonly-default-device" to avoid
adding those default devices as host_devs.

SSH uses passwd database and thus need various NSS plugin libraries,
depending upon setting in nsswitch.conf.
SSH binary fails within the dracut environment without the libraries:
#:/ ssh
No user exist for uid 0
In the module-build-service, we have pieces of dracut provided by different
modules ("base-runtime" provides most functionality, but we need
dracut-network in "installer". Since these two modules build with separate
dist-tags, we need to reduce this strict requirement to ignore the dist-tag.
The dracut network module is only supposed to be used for wired interfaces
but if driver modules for wireless devices are wrongly copied, these will
be loaded and the available interfaces brought up.
If the rd.neednet=1 command line parameter is used, dhclient will attempt
to request an IP address for the interfaces and these requests will fail.
But other dracut modules that depend on the network to be settled, will
have to wait for the DHCP requests to timeout. Which can be a lot of time
since the dhclient default timeout value is 60 seconds.
Instead of trying to blacklist all possible kernel modules for wireless
devices, only bring up network interfaces if these are for wired devices.

If we trigger crash just after creating initramfs, sometimes it is
observed that initramfs is not written to disk causing the subsequent
boot to fail. A sync should resolve this.
