Dear Maintainer,

Commit 38fe0c8f41fd (Support compressing the dumpfile) [1] 
changes the call to makedumpfile : 
- makedumpfile $MAKEDUMP_ARGS $vmcore_file "$KDUMP_CORETEMP"
+ makedumpfile $MAKEDUMP_ARGS $vmcore_file | compress > "$KDUMP_CORETEMP"

This introduces a regression because makedumpfile is called with the wrong 
arguments and as a result instead of creating a real dumpfile it creates
a file which contains an error message : 

# cat /var/crash/202103221444/dump.202103221444 
Commandline parameter is invalid.
Try `makedumpfile --help' for more information.

makedumpfile Failed.
