kexec-tools needs to disable CMA for kdump kernel cmdline,
otherwise kdump kernel may run out of memory.
This patch strips the inherited cma=, hugetlb_cma= cmd
line from 1st kernel, and sets to be 0 for 2nd kernel.

Some unused log levels have been removed, and kdump has used the
different options to control the log levels for the first kernel
and the second kernel. Therefore, let's update the kdump sysconfig
accordingly.

The kdump logger has the default values of the log levels, but
sometimes, need to change the value of log level in order to
get more debugging messages for troubleshooting.
Here, user will have a chance to reconfigure it.

Usually kdump kernel don't need a swiotlb. There are two cases known
common case a swiotlb is needed:
- SEV/SME is active.
- crashkernel high reservation is used, or there are crashkernel memory
above 4G.
For both case, if swiotlb is set to a large value in first kernel, kdump
kernel will likely to fail with OOM. So don't inherit swiotlb parameter
by default.

The option 'log_buf_len' in the kernel command line will make kernel
dynamically allocate memory (system ram) from memblock and always hold
the memory allocated. If the size of this option is misused such as
'log_buf_len=64M'. This may cause a short of memory for kdump kernel,
because the size of memory is usually limited in kdump kernel.
In order to avoid this problem, need to remove this option from the
kdump kernel command line.

Device dump may use a log of memory and cause OOM issue, so append
"novmcoredd" option for second kernel and disable it by default.
To use device dump, user should remove the vmcoredd parameter
manually.

"quiet" will disable most of log messages. For debugging kdump
kernel purpose it is better to remove quiet in 2nd kernel so that
we always see kernel messages.

Use KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_REMOVE config instead of hardcode them in
kdumpctl, which makes it possible system admins decide what params to
remove such as "quiet" or other debug flags.
This patch also adds backward compatibility even if an old config is
used. It will behave the same as the old version.

For arches we do not exlictly support, kdumpctl will fail with errors because
kernel can not be found. It is caused by there's no proper KDUMP_IMG prefix
so kernel image can not be found.
Kexec/kdump functionality may simply work, so let's add those prefix in
default sysconfig file thus one can test and use kexec/kdump in Fedora.

dracut will mount rootfs for us, so we need not pass root to fstab again here.
Here remove the root-mount line.
This will depends on the root=cmdline is right, by default kdump will
inherit it from /proc/cmdline.
Vivek: add document about the assumption for the root= cmdline issue.
