Subject: [PATCH] fadump: avoid status check while starting in fadump mode

With kernel commit 607451ce0aa9b ("powerpc/fadump: register for fadump
as early as possible"), 'kdumpctl start' prematurely returns with the
below message:

    "Kdump already running: [WARNING]"

instead of setting default initrd with dump capture capability as
required for fadump. Skip status check in fadump mode to avoid this
problem.
