Many embedded systems are based on Busybox, and therefore use the
Busybox implementation of modprobe. This implementation does not
support long options such as --remove and --quiet, only short options
such as -r and -q are supported.

This patches changes ltt-sessiond to use the short options, which are
more widely available, and allows lttng to work easily on a
Busybox-based system.
