Subject: fadump: avoid multipath optimizations that break regular boot
References: bsc#1101730
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: dc29a820687a3a267c56ad1b125cb670dbd194ad

Since commit 9a3764178a91 ("Blacklist unneeded multipath devices")
multipath devices that are not needed while capturing dump were
blacklisted. This reduces the memory requirements on kdump kernel.
But when this optimization is added to default initrd by including
dump capturing support for FADump, it is observed to mess with the
initialization of such blacklisted multipath devices while booting
the production kernel. To avoid such issues, use this optimization
only while booting a capture kernel.
