dkms_packages.py supported kernel check is not working

Bug description:
Test Case
---------
1) Look for some dkms package in /usr/src e.g. bbswitch-0.8
2) Run python3 /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/dkms_packages.py -m bbswitch
-v 0.8 -k 4.6.1-01234-lowlatency
3) Observe a crash report dialog from apport for bbswitch
With the version of apport from -proposed you will instead receive:
ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-
headers-4.6.1-01234-lowlatency is not supported
The apport package hook for dkms packages seems to have an error in its
supported kernel check. If the kernel is an unsupported one, the hook should
exit with a return code of 1. However, in the Ubuntu Error Tracker we can see
some crashes with unsupported kernel versions e.g.:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2733d742-284e-11e6-a745-fa163e839e11
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.1-040601-lowlatency
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0a1afefc-253c-11e6-9082-fa163e192766
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600-lowlatency
If the intent really is to block creation of these reports, then let's
do that.
