FAI kernel image without modules.

[Daniel Pittman]

As a rule I use kernels without module support built in for my kernels.
It's not that I care that deeply about the issue -- it's just that
having everything I use built in means that I don't have to administer
module configuration or anything like that.

So, trying to run the make-fai-nfsroot (or fai-setup) script actually
fails when the installed kernel does not have modules support.

This is caused by the depmod command in install_kernel_nfsroot()
returning an error because /lib/modules/.../ does not exist.

The appended patch will skip the module configuration stage when the
installed kernel lacks module support.[1]

Footnotes: 
[1]  Well, when it lacks a /lib/modules/... directory for the installed
     kernel, anyway, which is about the same thing.
