Subject: [PATCH] lsinitrd: Suppress "cat: write error: Broken pipe"
On systemd, SIGPIPE is ignored by default; see man 5 systemd.exec for
IgnoreSIGPIPE=. As a result, lsinitrd.sh under a systemd service
outputs "cat: write error: Broken pipe" in the processing of
determining a compression format of a given initramfs file using cat
command in the write part of a pipeline processing.
For example, this is a log message of kdump.service in RHEL7.1,

kdump.service builds and loads an initramfs for kdump kernel using
kdumpctl command which uses dracut command and so lsinitrd command,
too.
Although there's no actual harm except for the error message, there
has been several inquiries from customers about this message so
far. We should suppress this message to reduce needless
communications.
To suppress the message, this commit cleans up the processing of
reading the first 6 bytes of a given initramfs file without cat
command.
