[PATCH] app/pdump: close program if --pdump argument is missing

[usman.tanveer]

--pdump is a mandatory argument in pdump application.
It should print usage and exit if --pdump argument
is missing. The application is not closing and geting
stuck. Made the change to print usage and exit when
this argument is missing.

The 20.11 release is not coming out till August, in the meantime, this

Ideally, existing pdump can be deprecated and removed in 22.11?
