stop_fadump and start_fadump may also fail ), if stop_fadump failed
Yes, it could
happen based on the kernel code.
start_fadump should not be called or else it will wrongly report
"registered successfully". Would it be better to let reload_fadump
return right after try to re-register and don't try to fallback to
stop/start? Then callee would try to call reload_fadump() first, if
successed it return, else fail back to ordinary routine.
What about return immediately after stop_fadump() if error happens, and
warning the user about it? I think if this error happens, then it is
unlikely to unregister successfully any longer.
