[PATCH nfs-utils] modprobe: protect against sysctl errors

[PATCH nfs-utils] modprobe: protect against sysctl errors

[NeilBrown]

If there is an error running sysctl, a modprobe of these modules will
fail.  We probably don't want that - missing a sysctl is unlikely to be
fatal.

A real possibility is that /sbin/sysctl might not exist at all,
such as in a initramfs.  In that case we definitely don't want modprobe
to fail.

So make the scriptlets safe.
