Subject: kdump: Save dmesg during dump

makedumpfile added a --dump-dmesg option in version 1.4.0. This allows
 users to capture just the log messages rather than setting up a full
 development environment to generate it.

It will also work on the generated vmcore, but just dumping in in
 $DIR/$TIMESTAMP/dmesg.txt and asking users to attach that file to bug
 reports is a lot easier for everyone involved.
