If the dump target is the root disk, kdump scripts add an entry in
/etc/fstab for root disk with /sysroot as the mount point. The root
disk, passed through root=<> kernel commandline parameter, is mounted
at /sysroot in read-only mode before switching from initial ramdisk.
So, in fadump mode, a remount of /sysroot to read-write mode is needed
to capture dump successfully, because /sysroot is already mounted as
read-only based on root=<> boot parameter.
Commit e8ef4db8ff ("Fix dump_fs mount point detection and fallback
mount") removed initialization of $_op variable, the variable holding
the options the dump target was mounted with, leading to the below
error as remount was skipped:
kdump[586]: saving to /sysroot/var/crash/127.0.0.1-2021-04-22-07:22:08/
kdump.sh[587]: mkdir: cannot create directory '/sysroot/var/crash/127.0.0.1-2021-04-22-07:22:08/': Read-only file system
kdump[589]: saving vmcore failed
Restore $_op variable initialization in dump_fs() function to fix this.
