    Reduce kdump memory consumption by not letting NetworkManager manage unneeded network interfaces

    By default, NetworkManger will manage all the network interfaces and
    try to set interface IFF_UP to get carrier state. Regardless of whether
    the network interface is connected to a cable or not, the NIC driver
    will allocate memory resources for e.g. ring buffers when setting IFF_UP.
    This could be a waste of memory. For example it's found i40e consumes ~15GB
    on a power machine. On this machine, i40e manages four interfaces but only
    one interface is valid. This patch use "managed=false" to tell
    NetworkManager to not manage network interfaces that are not needed by
    kdump by putting 10-kdump-netif_allowlist.conf in the initramfs.
