Title:
  Customize 'crashkernel' parameter is not properly working

Bug description:
  Trying to use crashdump especially in a KVM machine.
  Installation looks fine and the reboot is triggered.
  But it does not work because the kernel does not have a 'crashkernel=' parameter.
  Nothing in /proc/cmdline:
  $ cat /proc/cmdline 
  root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs

  Issue seems to be in adding the crashkernel line in this snippet:
  # Customize crashkernel= value according to architecture
  ARCH="$(arch)"
  DEF_PRESET="384M-:128M"
  case "$ARCH" in
     s390x)
        HAS_CRASHKERNEL="$(grep crashkernel /etc/zipl.conf)" || true
        if test -z "$HAS_CRASHKERNEL"; then
           sed -i "/parameters/{s|\"$| crashkernel=${DEF_PRESET}\"|}" /etc/zipl.conf
           zipl
        fi
           CIO_IGNORE="$(cio_ignore -u -k)"
           sed -i "s/\#KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND/KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND/" $INITCONFFILE
           sed -i "/KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND/{s|\"$| ${CIO_IGNORE}\"|}" $INITCONFFILE
      ;;
  esac

  (especially 1st sed stmt)
