        Iterate /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices to tell if we should set up rd.znet
    
        This patch fixes bz1941106 and bz1941905 which passed empty rd.znet to the
        kernel command line in the following cases,
         - The IBM (Z15) KVM guest uses virtio for all devices including network
           device, so there is no znet device for IBM KVM guest. So we can't
           assume a s390x machine always has a znet device.
         - When a bridged network is used, kexec-tools tries to obtain the znet
           configuration from the ifcfg script of the bridged network rather than
           from the ifcfg script of znet device.
    
        We can iterate /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices to tell if there if there is
        a znet network device. By getting an ifname from znet, we can also avoid
        mistaking the slave netdev as a znet network device in a bridged network
        or bonded network.
    
        Note: This patch also assumes there is only one znet device as commit
        7148c0a30dfc48221eadf255e8a89619f98a8752 ("add s390x netdev setup")
        which greatly simplifies the code. According to IBM [1], there could be
        more than znet devices for a z/VM system and a z/VM system may have a
        non-znet network device like ConnectX. Since kdump_setup_znet was
        introduced in 2012 and so far there is no known customer complaint that
        invalidates this assumption I think it's safe to assume an IBM z/VM
        system only has one znet device. Besides, there is no z/VM system found
        on beaker to test the alternative scenarios.
