Having automatic updates seems pointless for production system, and
even dangerous and thus counter-productive:

1. If we can mount pstore, or read files, we can as well read
   /proc/kmsg. So, there's little point in duplicating the
   functionality and present the same information but via another
   userland ABI;

2. Expecting the kernel to behave sanely after oops/panic is naive.
   It might work, but you'd rather not try it. Screwed up kernel
   can do rather bad things, like recursive faults[1]; and pstore
   rather provoking bad things to happen. It uses:

   1. Timers (assumes sane interrupts state);
   2. Workqueues and mutexes (assumes scheduler in a sane state);
   3. kzalloc (a working slab allocator);

   That's too much for a dead kernel, so the debugging facility
   itself might just make debugging harder, which is not what
   we want.

Maybe for non-oops message types it would make sense to re-enable
automatic updates, but so far I don't see any use case for this.
Even for tracing, it has its own run-time/normal ABI, so we're
only interested in pstore upon next boot, to retrieve what has
gone wrong with HW or SW.

So, let's disable the updates by default.
