[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] ovs-bugtool: Run the 'dmesg' command without condition.

[Gurucharan Shetty]

Currently we look for files with the name of "dmesg"
in "/var/log". If it exists, we don't run the command
"dmesg". This is unreliable as the file does not always
contain the latest dmesg information.

Since OVS kernel module emits information to dmesg,
we need this information to debug bugs. So always
run the "dmesg" command and collect its output.
