Currently, when generating a kdump initramfs, mkdumprd will determine
how much disk space is available, if the dump target's available space
is not greater than the total system memory, mkdumprd will print a
warning to remind that there might not be enough space to save a vmcore.
Some users are complaining that mkdumprd overestimates the needed size.
But actually, the warning covers extreme scenarios such as the slab
explodes with non-zero data or a full vmcore, etc. Therefore, need to
prevent users from having minimum disk space for crash dump.
In view of this, add some descriptions to clarify it in mkdumprd man
page.

In man page, the removed comma is unnecessary, remove it in this page.

All these options are not valid for current mkdumprd. So remove them.
Leave a minimal mkdumprd.8
