kdump: remove sysctl.conf & sysctl.d/* files for kdump kernel

Browse Source 
Certain kernel parameters like min_free_kbytes can be configured at runtime
using sysctl. While this is useful in first kernel, it can lead to unnecessary
failures like OOM in kdump kernel. This patch enforces default vaules for all
sysctl parameters, in kdump kernel, by removing sysctl.conf & sysctl.d/* files.
