What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR slightly modifies the behavior of the falco-driver-loader script. Now the cleaning phase enforces the deletion of the kernel module if it is still loaded. If the script is not able to detach the module, it waits until the user removes it manually. The user can do this by following some specific instructions that will be provided in the documentation... This is necessary to avoid incompatibility issues with driver versions, obtaining errors like the following:

Runtime error: Kernel module does not support PPM_IOCTL_GET_API_VERSION. Exiting.

This happens with Falco 0.31.1 because we introduced a mechanism to detect incompatible driver versions.

This new cleaning phase is called every time we try to load a new kernel module typing falco-driver-loader or explicitly calling it with falco-driver-loader --clean.

Since both .deb and .rpm packages have to perform the same cleaning phase when uninstalled now they call directly falco-driver-loader --clean.

The dkms status output changed from version v2.8.6 (dell/dkms@f83b758):

Before v2.8.6 dkms status prints:

module, version, kernel, architecture

After:

module/version, kernel, architecture

Before v2.8.6 it seems that the format never changed. The last commit I considered has more than 15 years and it keeps the same format, so we should be pretty safe...

The last commit I checked: https://github.com/dell/dkms/blob/3abe63b850b4714df34972ae4486f0c0689022f0/dkms#L1470

I addressed this different output with the following line, for more info look directly at the code in this PR:

DRIVER_VERSIONS=$(dkms status -m "${KMOD_NAME}" | tr -d "," | tr "/" " " | cut -d' ' -f2)
