common: handle old versions of modprobe which don't support --help
There exists versions of modprobe out there which are so old that modprobe --help isn't a thing. They're certainly not going to support modprobe --remove-patiently, so test to make sure modprobe --help works to avoid causing all tests to fail due to the error message to stderr showing up in $seq.out.
