Reset crashkernel to default value if newly installed kernel has crashkernel=auto

Browse Source 
Resolves: bz2168504
Upstream: RHEL-only

After leapp upgrade from 8.8 to 9.2 on Azure,  RHEL9 kernel has
crashkernel=auto. This happens because kexec-tools's posttrans scriptlet
is executed before kernel's posttrans scriptlet (which in turn runs the
kernel-install hooks). One of the kernel-install hook is responsible for
adding a new boot entry for the new kernel. So when kexec-tools's posttrans
scriptlet is running, RHEL9 kernel is yet to have a boot entry so
kexec-tools couldn't set up the crashkernel parameter. Later one
kernel-install hook makes RHEL9 kernel inherit crashkernel=auto.

Fix this issue by letting 92-crashkernel.install reset crashkernel=auto.
