[PATCH] depmod: Handle installing modules under a prefix

[Michal Suchanek]

Some distributions aim at not shipping any files in / ustside of usr.

The path under which kernel modules are instaleld is hardcoded to /lib
which conflicts with this goal.

When kmod provides the config command use it to determine the correct
module installation prefix.

On kmod that does not provide the command / is used as before.
