Dave Young 69ba16a409 mkdumprd: use --quiet dracut argument to speedup initramfs build
Currently in Fedora/RedHat dracut installs its fedora.conf.example
as the default config file, in which sysloglvl is set 5. This leads
to maxloglvl=5 in dracut calls, making unnecessary lsinitrd calls
during initramfs builds by kdump.

This patch makes use of
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/272
and disables lsinitrd logging by giving "-q" option to dracut,
eliminating unnecessary lsinitrd calls in dracut.
