Iterate /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices to tell if we should set up rd.znet
This patch fixes bz1941106 and bz1941905 which passed empty rd.znet to the
kernel command line in the following cases,
- The IBM (Z15) KVM guest uses virtio for all devices including network
device, so there is no znet device for IBM KVM guest. So we can't
assume a s390x machine always has a znet device.
- When a bridged network is used, kexec-tools tries to obtain the znet
configuration from the ifcfg script of the bridged network rather than
from the ifcfg script of znet device.
We can iterate /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices to tell if there if there is
a znet network device. By getting an ifname from znet, we can also avoid
mistaking the slave netdev as a znet network device in a bridged network
or bonded network.
Note: This patch also assumes there is only one znet device as commit
7148c0a30d ("add s390x netdev setup")
which greatly simplifies the code. According to IBM [1], there could be
more than znet devices for a z/VM system and a z/VM system may have a
non-znet network device like ConnectX. Since kdump_setup_znet was
introduced in 2012 and so far there is no known customer complaint that
invalidates this assumption I think it's safe to assume an IBM z/VM
system only has one znet device. Besides, there is no z/VM system found
on beaker to test the alternative scenarios.
