dracut-module-setup: Prefer ipv4 address as the hostname address 

Kdump will parse the hostname to get the ip address, if hostname is
specfied in /etc/kdump.conf. We will get the ip address(ipv4 or ipv6,
according to the DNS server) by using "getent hosts".

For now, it is more reasonable that we shall get all of the ip
address(including ipv4 and ipv6 address) which point to the hostname by
using "getent ahosts". And we will prefer to use the ipv4 address, if
both ipv4 and ipv6 address work.

The reason why we choose the ipv4 as preferred address is to solve the
issue kdump will fail to connect the hostname machine(parsed as ipv6
address), due to the DNS server is ipv4 address in 2nd kernel.
