Tao Liu c743881ae6 virtiofs support for kexec-tools
This patch add virtiofs support for kexec-tools by introducing a new option
for /etc/kdump.conf:

virtiofs myfs

Where myfs is a variable tag name specified in qemu cmdline
"-device vhost-user-fs-pci,tag=myfs".

The patch covers the following cases:
1) Dumping VM's vmcore to a virtiofs shared directory;
2) When the VM's rootfs is a virtiofs shared directory and dumping the
   VM's vmcore to its subdirectory, such as /var/crash;
3) The combination of case 1 & 2: The VM's rootfs is a virtiofs shared
   directory and dumping the VM's vmcore to another virtiofs shared
   directory.

Case 2 & 3 need dracut >= 057, otherwise VM cannot boot from virtiofs
shared rootfs. But it is not the issue of kexec-tools.
