    kdump config remove Mellanox eth drivers from ramdisk

    This is just an extension of commit:

    f46c154188b5d90bdd19ba2a5952b4f8c565d5d3
    kdump config remove intel eth drivers from ramdisk

    where we removed all of the Intel ethernet drivers
    from the kdump ramdisk. They were chewing up scarce
    memory and are not needed to dump a vmcore. We should
    have also removed the Mellanox network drivers at the
    same time. There are some reports of nodes containing
    Mellanox cards failing to dump the vmcore after
    a kernel crash.

    Verification:
    - ensure that /etc/kdump.conf now has the omit line
      containing the Mellanox drivers
    - on plaform containing Mellanox cards, force a
      crash dump via echo c >/proc/sysrq-trigger . On the
      serial console, watch the crash kernel boot up and
      observe that the Mellanox hardware is no longer
      initialized by a driver. Watch that the vmcore dump
      completes successfully.
