When running makedumpfile with the --dry-run option it fails with
[...]
write_and_check_space: Can't seek the dump file(vmcore). Bad file
descriptor
[...]
This is because for --dry-run no dump file is created and a dummy file
descriptor of -1 is used. Thus the lseek in write_and_check_space will
fail. Fix this by treating a dry run as if writing to STDOUT.
Fixes: f0cfa86 ("[PATCH v2 3/3] Add -L option to limit output file size")
