This update for dracut fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2016-8637: When the early microcode loading was enabled during initrd creation, the initrd
  would be read-only available for all users, allowing local users to retrieve secrets stored in
  the initial ramdisk. (bsc#1008340)

Non security issues fixed:

- Remove zlib module as requirement. (bsc#1020063)
- Unlimit TaskMax for xfs_repair in emergency shell. (bsc#1019938)
- Resolve symbolic links for -i and -k parameters. (bsc#902375)
- Enhance purge-kernels script to handle kgraft patches. (bsc#1017141)
- Allow booting from degraded MD arrays with systemd. (bsc#1017695)
- Allow booting on s390x with fips=1 on the kernel command line. (bnc#1021687)
- Start multipath services before local-fs-pre.target. (bsc#1005410, bsc#1006118, bsc#1007925)
- Fix /sbin/installkernel to handle kernel packages built with 'make bin-rpmpkg'. (bsc#1008648)
