As I commented to patch 7, if vmcore is opened and closed after
checking, do we need to give up any chance to add device dumping
as below? 

fd = open(/proc/vmcore);
...do checking;
close(fd);

quit any device dump adding;

run makedumpfile on s390;
  ->fd = open(/proc/vmcore);
    -> try to dump;
  ->close(fd);
