Originally kdump dracut module detect and install watchdog modules if needed. Later the module installation part was moved to dracut 04watchdog-modules. Since iTCO_wdt requires lpc_ich module to be loaded, dracut seems do not handle the module dependency correctly thus lpc_ich will not be installed. Manyally add lpc_ich module into initramfs the watchdog can work again. This may need a fix in dracut.

watchdog: do not add watchdog module in rd.driver.pre now
Now dracut takes care to add module for active watchdog. Therefore we do
not need to pass iTCO_wdt and lpc_ich module in rd.driver.pre specifically
here.
