modutils: support finit_module syscall
On some systems like Chromium OS, loading modules from non-verified filesystems is denied. Only finit_module is allowed because an open fd is passed which can be checked against a verified location. Change the module loading code to first attempt finit_module and if that fails for whatever reason, fall back to the existing logic. On x86_64, this adds ~80 bytes to modutils/modutils.o and ~68 bytes to modutils/modprobe-small.o.
