Partially Revert "Don't mount the dump target unless needed"

Browse Source 
This partially reverts commit 6dee286467.

There are reports that NFSv3 is failing after this commit, and after
more debug, I found NFSv4 may not work properly if
"nfs4_disable_idmapping" is set to 0.

The cause of the failure is that kdump.sh runs after dracut's pre-pivot
and clean up hook, many dracut module will install hooks to kill some
running services, so if the dump target requires a service to be running
but it's killed, mount will fail.

Dracut ensures the configured mount points are ready before pre-pivot.
After pre-pivot, any further mounting operation may not work as expected.

Although there is no report of other type of dump target failure except
NFSv3, it's better to revert this, to avoid other potential risk, and wait
for a proper fix for that systemd/kernel issue.

Else, this may bring more trouble for further development.

But still keep the change in kdump-lib-initramfs.sh for better
robustness.
