When the fadump is enabled, we have /sys/kernel/fadump_enabled assigned 1.
But sometimes we need to restart the fadump service by 'service kdump restart',
in case the kdump script has added the fadump detect/support already.
In current implementation, we cannot re-assign 1 to /sys/kernel/fadump_enabled
if 1 is already set and we have added more logic check in the user space script.
I think we can enable the duplicate assignment to ease the user space tools,
as long as the value is the right 1 or 0.
