Title:
  Linuxbridge agent test for VXLAN module requires /lib/modules

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Linuxbridge agent VXLAN test[1] uses modinfo which requires
  /lib/modules to be available. This leads  to a false negative result
  on LXC containers where /lib/modules is not mounted.

  Expected behaviour: VXLAN module detected if loaded.
  Current behvarious: VXLAN module only detected if loaded and /lib/modules is available.

  Example:

  root@neutron-agents:/# modinfo vxlan
  libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:556 kmod_search_moddep: could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.13.0-30-generic/modules.dep.bin'
  modinfo: ERROR: Module alias vxlan not found.

  However the module is available:

  root@neutron-agents:/# lsmod |grep ^vxlan
  vxlan                  37619  0
