kdumpctl: Run multiple kdumpctl instances one by one in serial order

Browse Source 
There will be a race condition if multiple kdumpctl instances are
running at the same time.

By introducing a global mutex lock, only one instance can acquire this
lock and run, others will be waiting for the lock in queue. Now each
kdump instance will be run in serial order and there won't any race
condition.

This is a patch backported from RHEL6.
