Subject: Do not free fadump memory when reboot is requested
References: bsc#1040610
Upstream: v0.8.17
Git-commit: 653f8c0931c638cbb0bd5c22fc0e1dfd7969b29a

Freeing fadump memory can take a long time and doing it when we are going to
reboot anyway is pointless.

In bsc#1034169 a kernel oops is triggered by freeing fadump memory killing
save_dump.sh and preventing the reboot requested by the user from happening
entirely.

Avoid the issue and speed up reboot by not freeing fadump memory when reboot is
requested.
