I will read and comment about the code details after I finished reading the
details, but I would like to first comment about things in my mind.

It still only checks when kdump service restart, one need manually restart
kdump service or it will be run at next reboot. User need be aware of wdt
setup influent kdump service. Maybe we should document it explictly and tell
user kdump is adding wdt.
Yes, it can be documented.
Or we should introduce a way to automatilly detect the change, not sure how
to do it and if it is worth..
I had thought of it, but did not get any good idea to do it. However, we can
still keep it as an open point and can think about it as next enhancement.
