This isn't quite right. We're conditionally assigning pdata.max_reason
and then immediately re-assigning it.

IIUC, we're just missing an else block and it should look like this:

	/* Parse deprecated module param "dump_oops" into "max_reason". */
	if (ramoops_dump_oops != -1)
		pdata.max_reason = ramoops_dump_oops ? KMSG_DUMP_OOPS
						     : KMSG_DUMP_PANIC;
	else
		pdata.max_reason = ramoops_max_reason;
