PATCH 1/1 dracut: Don't suppress the modprobe error output.

It happens that either due to newer modprobe or missing depmod module-init-tools cries.
Suppressing the error ensures for a funny debug search for the user. Resulting initramfs is generally unbootable due to missing module deps.

Better use the quiet option of modprobe itself.
It makes it less chatty, but doesn't suppress "fatal" errors.
