Title:
  kdump-tools: Fails to load kdump kernel when /proc/cmdline contains
  double quotes

Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in makedumpfile source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in makedumpfile source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU justification]
  This fix is needed to avoid failure to load kdump-tools when one kernel boot 
parameter has double-quotes.

  [Impact]
  kdump functionality becomes unusable

  [Fix]
  Modify kdump-config to handle the presence of double-quotes in the cmdline

  [Test Case]
  Edit /etc/default/grub and add the following to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT :

  \"acpi_osi=!Windows 2012\"
  $ sudo update-grub
  $ sudo reboot

  kdump-config will show the following error upon reboot :

  [   11.595868] kdump-tools[1710]: Cannot open `2012 irqpoll nr_cpus=1 nousb 
systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service': No s
  uch file or directory                                                         
                                     
  [   11.602563] kdump-tools[1710]:  * failed to load kdump kernel              
                                     

  With this fix, the kdump-config command will run successfully

  [Regression]
  None expected. Fix is already in Zesty & Debian. Only one line added to the 
sed statement.

  [Original description of the problem]
  kdump-tools fails to load if one of the kernel parameter has double-quotes
