is_squash_available is only used in dracut-module-setup.sh and mkdumprd. Neither of the two scripts calls prepare_kdump_bootinfo which determines and sets KDUMP_KERNELVER. Thus KDUMP_KERNELVER is only non-zero if it explicitly specified by the user in /etc/sysconfig/kdump (and the file gets sourced, which is not the case for drachu-module-setup.sh). In theory this can even lead to bugs. For example consider the case when a debug kernel is running. In that case kdumpctl will try to use the non-debug version of the kernel while is_squash_available will make its decision based on the debug version. So in case the debug kernel has squash available but the non-debug kernel doesn't mkdumprd will try to add it nevertheless. Thus factor out the kernel version detection from prepare_kdump_bootinfo and make use of the new function when checking for the availability of those kernel modules.
