If dracut-initqueue failed in kdump kernel and failure action is set to dump_to_rootfs, there is no point try again to start the initqueue. It will also slow down the dump process, and the initqueue will most like still now work if first attemp failed. So just try to start sysroot.mount, if it failed, there is no luck.
