fedora: Prioritize OVS modules in weak-updates.

Out-of-tree modules are installed into the kernel's "extra" modules
directory for the version that kmod-openvswitch is compiled against. For
all other kernels on the system at install time, a symlink is created in
the "weak-updates" directory. This provides a path for the same kernel
module to be used when minor kernel updates are done on a system.
However, without updating the depmod configuration the weak-update will
not be prioritized, so modprobe will switch back to using upstream
kernel modules when you upgrade. This patch introduces that depmod
configuration to ensure that the out-of-tree module is always used when
it is installed, regardless of kernel upgrades.
