    fadump: avoid non-debug kernel use for fadump case

    Since commit c5bdd2d8f1 ("kdump-lib: use non-debug kernels first"),
    non-debug kernel is preferred, over the debug variant, as dump capture
    kernel to reduce memory consumption. This works alright for kdump as
    the capture kernel is loaded using kexec.

    In case of fadump, regular boot loader is used to load the capture
    kernel. So, the default kernel needs to be used as capture kernel as
    well. But with commit c5bdd2d8f1, initrd of a different kernel is
    made dump capture capable, breaking fadump's ability to capture dump
    properly. Fix this by sticking with the debug variant in case of
    fadump.

    Fixes: c5bdd2d8f1 ("kdump-lib: use non-debug kernels first")
