File kdump-try-kexec-load-file.patch of Package kdump.openSUSE_Leap_42.3_Update

From: Lance Wang <lzwang@suse.com>
Date: Tue Jan 16 13:53:40 2018 +0100
Subject: Try both kexec_load(2) and kexec_file_load(2)
References: bsc#951144, bsc#1056497
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: ab9c22489ef7627e3f0ad67f46ea19e8d401d044

The logic in load.sh will use kexec_load first. If kexec_load fails
or is blocked by kernel, then it will try kexec_load_file on
x86_64.
