Bug description:
[Impact]
After a CPU add/hotplug operation on Power systems, kdump will fail after a
crash. The kdump kernel needs to be reloaded after a CPU add/hotplug.
[Test case]
Do CPU add/hotplug, trigger a crash, and check for a successful kdump.
[Regression potential]
Multiple reloads caused by multiple sequential CPU adds may cause spurious
log results, and systemd may fail to properly reload the kdump kernel. This has
been handled by resetting the failure counter when doing such reloads.

---Problem Description---
kdump fails when crash is triggered after CPU add operation.
Machine Type = na
---System Hang---
Crashed in early boot process of kdump kernel after crash
Had to issue system reset from HMC to reclaim
---Steps to Reproduce---
1. Configure kdump.
2. Add cpu from HMC.
3. Trigger crash.
4. Machine hangs after crash as below:
---
[169250.213166] IPI complete
[169250.234331] kexec: Starting switchover sequence.
I'm in purgatory
--- STRUCK HERE ---
---uname output---
na
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured

The problem is, kexec udev rule to restart kdump-tools service - when a core
is added,
is not being triggered. The old DT created by kexec (before the core is added)
is being used by KDump Kernel. So, when system crashes on a thread from
the added core(s), KDump kernel is failing to get the 'boot_cpuid' and
eventually failing to boot..

The udev rule when CPU is added is not triggered because ppc64 does not
eject add/remove event when a CPU is hot added/removed. It only ejects
online/offline event to user space when CPU is hot added/removed.
So, the below udev rules are never triggered when needed:
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart
kdump-tools.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="remove", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-restart
kdump-tools.service"
Also, with how CPU hot add & remove are handled in ppc64, a udev trigger
to reload kdump after CPU is hot removed is NOT necessary. So, fix the CPU
hot add case by updating the udev rule and drop the udev rule meant for CPU
hot remove in the kdump udev rules file:
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/bin/systemctl try-
restart kdump-tools.service"
