---Problem Description---
A default offset of 128MB is enforced for crashkernel by kdump-tools utility
overriding the kernel default.

While the kernel default offset for crashkernel is also 128MB, that may change
and the right thing to do would be to let the kernel decide on the offset of
crashkernel in the default scenario..

Get rid of "@128M" in kdump-tools.cfg file

---Steps to Reproduce---
 # cat /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools.cfg

The offset is specified via kdump-tools where as the kernel may be the right place to
set an offset by default..
