earlykdump is not suppose to be loaded for a kdump initramfs, and user may add it into dracut's config file so it will be included by default. It will also make the image building always fail because earlykdump actually detect if it's being used for kdump image and raise an error if so. In that case, we always force drop this module to avoid such problem.
