Subject: Remove vm. sysctls from kdump initrd
References: bsc#927451, bsc#987862
Patch-mainline: v0.8.16
Git-commit: 52fcf6338bfb4e029d96303d4840e995e9da2cc9

Custom sysctl VM settings in the primary system may cause unreasonable
run-time memory requirements in the kdump environment.

Remove such custom sysctl settings from kdump initrd.
