When building kdump initramfs for a SSH dump target, mkdumprd would
check whether it has the write permission on the SSH Server's
$DUMP_TARGET.
However $DUMP_TARGET is missing in the actual error message when the
user doesn't not have the write permission. For example:
# kdumpctl restart
kexec: unloaded kdump kernel
Stopping kdump: [OK]
Could not create temporary directory on :/home/bhsharma/test. Make
sure user has write permission on destination
mkdumprd: failed to make kdump initrd
Starting kdump: [FAILED]
This patch exports $DUMP_TARGET from kdumpctl to make sure that
mkdumprd can use the same inside mkdir_save_path_ssh() function to
fix the issue. Note that without this patch, $DUMP_TARGET is
uninitialized in mkdumprd.
