-kexec-tools: Refine kdump device_tree sort
-
-The commit b02d735bf was to rearrange the device-tree entries, and
-assumed that these entries are sorted in the ascending order. but
-acctually when I was validating kexec and kdump, the order of
-serial node still is changed. So the patch is to sort these entries
-by the directory name in ascending order.
