Message:

Additions/linux/installer: still use the DKMS hooks as well to rebuild drivers.
bugref:3809: Linux installer maintenance
The last change removed the DKMS hooks for rebuilding kernel modules as they
were not reliable, and replaced them with something more reliable but not
quite as nice. But actually having both will not hurt anyone, so restore
the hooks again.
