PATCH 1/1 dracut-gencmdline: fix regex quoting in findstoragedriver()

On my LVM system this changes the relevant output from "rd_NO_LVM" to "rd_LVM_VG=alan-desktop.Linux"

Note that on my newer system, it now reaches moduledep() and complains. I don't know enough awk to tell whose fault it is :).

awk: line 2: function gensub never defined
awk: line 2: function gensub never defined
rd_NO_MD rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 root=/dev/sda2

Both my systems (old ubuntu and debian unstable) agree that bash regexes should not be quoted:

   $ [[ 'a' =~ a ]] && echo match
   match
   $ [[ 'a' =~ ^a$ ]] && echo match
   match
   $ [[ 'a' =~ '^a$' ]] && echo match
   $

(and yes, it is safe against globbing)

   $ touch 9
   $ echo [0-9]
   9
   $ [[ 1 =~ [0-9] ]] && echo match
   match
