[libvirt] [PATCH] Honor blacklist for modprobe command

When loading modules, libvirt does not honor the modprobe blacklist.
By adding a "-b" to the modprobe command libvirt will fail to load a
module if it's on the blacklist

Check if the failure to load a driver was due to it being on the blacklist
using the output of a "modprobe -c" searching for "blacklist <driver_Name>"
where driver_Name is possibly a modified string of the input driver changing
all '-' into '_' since that's what modprobe does.
