Since commit ca01cbd, mkdumprd can generate the initramfs even if dump
target is not mounted. But it will refuse to work if the dump target is
not marked as noauto, and not mounted.
If a target is not marked as noauto in fstab, it should be mounted
automatically on boot. If it's not mounted, most likely something is
wrong and user should fix that. So mkdumprd will just show an error
message and quit to avoid further failure.
This commit make the error message more clear and less confusing.

Currently kexec-tools always depend on dump target to be mounted, which
caused some inconvenience for setup.
So for user configured target, allow kdump to start and build initramfs
even if target is not mounted.
When a mounted user configured target is used, the behavior is not
changed.
When a unmounted user configured target is used, mkdumprd will look for
corresponding mount info in fstab, and a entry with noauto option is
founded, mkdumprd will try to mount it inplace with optoins specified
in fstab and do basic checks on the device, then umount it.
If there is no fstab entry, mkdumprd will try to mount it in temporary
path with defaults option, do same basic check and umount it.
If there is a fstab entry but "noauto" option is not used, then there
must be some reason that the target device is not mounted, mkdumprd will
error out.
When path based target is used, there is no behavior change.

By this point, there is still an unresolved vfs kernel issue that blocks
systemd from mounting the dump target properly from time to time. To
prevent systemd from failing by mounting the dump target, we can add
nofail option to the kdump mount point.
But adding nofail will wipe out default dependency of the mount point,
see commit 94a7b43, so systemd randomize the order of calling kdump.sh
and mounting the dump target and lead to unexpected behavior.
However we can use x-systemd.before to ensure the mount is done
in right order.
In dracut-kdump-capture.service, we have "After=initrd.target",
and look at dracut.bootup.7, systems start processing of fstab by
initrd-fs.target, so set "After=initrd.target" could ensure the mount
is ready before pre-pivot and kdump-capture service.
Now with both nofail and x-systemd.before=initrd.target, systemd
will try to mount the dump target before calling kdump, and even if the
mount failed, kdump.sh will still be called and try to mount again. See
dump_fs function, which will try to mount if the target is not mounted.
Kdump will only fail if both mount attemp fails.
Else if the kdump target mount failed or unstable, systemd will directly
jump to kdump failure action, and kdump fails.
This should improve the robustness in general with no other risk.

This partially reverts commit 6dee286467.
There are reports that NFSv3 is failing after this commit, and after
more debug, I found NFSv4 may not work properly if
"nfs4_disable_idmapping" is set to 0.
The cause of the failure is that kdump.sh runs after dracut's pre-pivot
and clean up hook, many dracut module will install hooks to kill some
running services, so if the dump target requires a service to be running
but it's killed, mount will fail.
Dracut ensures the configured mount points are ready before pre-pivot.
After pre-pivot, any further mounting operation may not work as expected.
Although there is no report of other type of dump target failure except
NFSv3, it's better to revert this, to avoid other potential risk, and wait
for a proper fix for that systemd/kernel issue.
Else, this may bring more trouble for further development.
But still keep the change in kdump-lib-initramfs.sh for better
robustness.

In most cases, it always provides a persistent MAC address. But for
the s390 Arch, sometimes, kernel could run in the LPAR mode and it
doesn't provide a persistent MAC address, which caused the kdump
failure.
Currently, some rules rely on the persistent MAC address, for the
above case, which won't work in kdump kernel because non-persistent
MAC could not match with udev rules.
To fix this issue, need to add a new option 'rd.znet_ifname' in order
to provide extra parameters such as 'ifname' and 'subchannels' for
some rules, which ensures kdump can also work appropriately without
the persistent MAC. Please refer to the following commit in dracut:

If user configured target is used, path should be used as the absolute
path within the dump target direct, and user should be fully aware of
the path structure within the target device. The adjust_bind_mount_path
call here make it very hard to control the behavior.
Especially, if it's a cross device bind mount, this will likely create a
invalid path in the target. And for atomic case, adjust_bind_mount_path call
here assumes user will always pass root device as the explicitly configured
dump target, which is not true.
If user configured target device is used, the path is always be the
absolute path inside of given target. If user don't know about the path
structure in the target device, then user should either use the path
based config, or carefully exam the target device before using it as a
dump target.

For user specified target, the config value is used as the dump target,
and SAVE_PATH (path in kdump.conf) value is used as the dump path within
the dump target, no need to do anything extra with the path value.
Current code logic is not only complicated, it also wrongly generate
an redundantly long path in atomic/silverblue environment.
The right way is only check two things, and do nothing else:
1. The path exists within the target;
2. The target is large enough to hold to contain the vmcore.
Currently checking the target still requires it to be mounted so it will
error out if it's not mounted. Will implement some auto mount as next
step.
