kdump: add udev events for memory online/offline

Currently no udev events for memory hotplug "online" and "offline" are
generated:

  # udevadm monitor
  # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory4/state
  ==> No event

When kdump is loaded, kexec detects the current memory configuration and
stores it in the pre-allocated ELF core header.  Therefore, for kdump it
is necessary to reload the kdump kernel with kexec when the memory
configuration changes (e.g.  for online/offline hotplug memory).

In order to do this automatically, udev rules should be used.  This kernel
patch adds udev events for "online" and "offline".  Together with this
kernel patch, the following udev rules for online/offline have to be added
to "/etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules":

  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"
  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"
