## Description:

This update for dracut fixes the following issues:

  * Fix and update testsuite (bsc#1254873):
    * test (FULL-SYSTEMD):
      * ignore errors in systemd-vconsole-setup.service
      * use poweroff to shut down test
      * no need to include dbus to the target rootfs
    * test: move /failed to /run/failed as rootfs might be read-only
    * test: make the size of all test drives 512 MB
    * fix (systemd): move installation of libkmod to udev-rules module
    * test: switch to virtio for the QEMU drive
    * test: increase test VM memory from 512M to 1024M to avoid OOM killer
    * test: move more common test code to test-functions
    * test: upgrade to ext4
  * fix (nfs): do not execute logic in nfs hooks if netroot is not nfs
    (bsc#1253960)
