The proper solution to hidden module dependencies is to add 'softdep'
information to the depending modules. Unfortunately we currently
still won't see those dependencies as 'modprobe --ignore-install'
inhibits processing of both 'install' and 'softdep' configuration
lines and embedded softdep information.
There are good reasons for using --ignore-install (see #384043), so
instead of removing this option we run modprobe twice, with and
without it.
