* Fix double-quote handling in /proc/cmdline
Parsing of the cmdline would fail if double-quotes are encountered
in /proc/cmdine (i.e. like when things like "acpi_osi=!Windows 2012"

Bug description:
[SRU justification]
This fix is needed to avoid failure to load kdump-tools when one kernel boot
parameter has double-quotes.
[Impact]
kdump functionality becomes unusable
[Fix]
Modify kdump-config to handle the presence of double-quotes in the cmdline
[Test Case]
Edit /etc/default/grub and add the following to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT :
\"acpi_osi=!Windows 2012\"
$ sudo update-grub
$ sudo reboot
kdump-config will show the following error upon reboot :
[ 11.595868] kdump-tools[1710]: Cannot open `2012 irqpoll nr_cpus=1 nousb
systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service': No s
uch file or directory
[ 11.602563] kdump-tools[1710]: * failed to load kdump kernel
With this fix, the kdump-config command will run successfully
[Regression]
None expected. Fix is already in Zesty & Debian. Only one line added to the
sed statement.
[Original description of the problem]
kdump-tools fails to load if one of the kernel parameter has double-quotes
