kdump-load.sh: Clean-up old/useless kdump initrd files

Browse Source 
The kdump-steamos tooling creates an initrd file based in the running
kernel version for kdump, during package installation (even if kdump
is not the default crash collection mechanism). Such file lives in
the /home partition.

When SteamOS image is upgraded, with a new kernel, there is a mechanism
to create a new initrd either manually or automatically, just before the
kdump load; in the end, we may have lots of initrds (one per kernel
version ever installed), but we don't have currently a way to clear that.

Well, until now. We hereby introduce such a simple mechanism, to prevent
waste of precious /home space with useless initrd files. It works by
comparing installed kernels [0] with the kdump-initrd-* files in /home,
and if we have some of these kdump initrds that have no match with any
installed kernel, they are removed (and such operation is logged in the
systemd journal).

[0] Definition: installed kernel in our context is a kernel that
has a modules folder in /lib/modules .
