Linux Additions: do not try to remove kernel modules on clean-up.
bugref:3809: Linux installer maintenance

When we uninstall Linux Additions it is normally not possible to unload all
kernel modules. However we generally succeeded in removing vboxsf. When
upgrading this resulted in an error message when trying to load the new
version and further meant that shared folder functionality was guaranteed
not to be available until the next guest restart. This change drops the
unload attempt.
