In fact, the patch does the right thing in this case too. If the user
invokes kdb_util load_v4 with a '-d dbname' option, then the
admin_dbname will be derived from that option -- the *first* call to
kadm5_get_config_params takes care of that. (I could probably argue
that calling kadm5_get_config_params twice is *always* wrong -- but
I'm sure there are harmless ways to do it. This wasn't one :-)
