[PATCH] kdumpctl: Rebuild initramfs if loaded kernel modules changed

Currently, we only rebuilt kdump initramfs on config file change, fs change, or watchdog related change. This will not cover the case that hardware changed but fs layout and other configurations still stays the same, and kdump may fail. To cover such case, we can detect and compare loaded kernel modules, if a hardware change requires the image to be rebuilt, loaded kernel modules must have changed. Starting from commit 7047294 dracut will record loaded kernel modules when the image is built if hostonly mode is enabled. With this patch, kdumpctl will compare the recorded value with currently loaded kernel modules, and rebuild the image on change.
