[Bionic regression / autopkgtest]

simple.sh is looking if it doesn't load module by happenstance by
comparing the list before and after, and Bionic w/ 4.15 kernel reveal
that 'devlink' is added along the way. I was able to isolate it to the
networking plugin:

root@srv:~# lsmod | grep -i devlink
root@srv:~# sos report -o networking

sosreport (version 4.1)

.....

Please send this file to your support representative.

More precisely to this specific code line:
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/blob/master/sos/report/plugins/networking.py#L109

# Manual reproducer:
root@srv:~# lsmod | grep -i devlink
devlink 45056 0
root@srv:~# lsb_release -cs
bionic

I can reproduce the behaviour every time only on 4.15 but not on more
recent kernel (5.4).

I highly suspect that this is due to following kernel configuration:

config-4.15.0-140-generic:CONFIG_MAY_USE_DEVLINK=m
config-5.4.0-70-generic:CONFIG_NET_DEVLINK=y

With that being said, it is safe to ignore the failure here for now as
it has nothing to do with sosreport. I already addressed it with sos
upstream. And I'll try work on mitigation/workaround in sosreport
eventually, maybe using SoSpredicate or some sort.
