Ian Wienand a72645f431 Recreate initramfs within loopback image
dracut has a loop [1] where it probes top-level directories, tries to
find what block device they are on, then determines the file-system of
that block device.  It then puts those file-system modules into the
initramfs for boot.

Since we install the kernel package during the chroot phase, / there
is not a block device and thus this loop matches nothing and we end up
with no file-system modules in the initramfs.  This results in a very
annoying silent boot hang.

By moving re-generation of dracut into finalise.d phase, we run inside
the final image where / is the loop-device; the root file-system gets
detected correctly and the ext4 module is included correctly.
