When starting openvswtich-vswitch fail gracefully if
modules can't be loaded. Otherwise package install will
fail if the openvswitch_mod modules is not available.
This resolves a regression between 1.1.1 and 1.2.1.
This makes use of the load-kmod subcommand which was
added to ovs-ctl for this purpose.
