install/dracut-install.c: install module dependencies of dependencies

After upgrading to the latest stable version of dracut, I rebuild my initramfs and booted the stable kernel 4.19.44-gentoo, but the following messages appeared in dmesg:

[    5.896246] kvmgt: Unknown symbol gfn_to_memslot (err -2)

From the Fedora bugzilla report (referred from the upstream bug):

Starting with kernel 4.19, i915.ko has:

[root@localhost ~]# modinfo i915 | grep pre\:
softdep:        pre: kvmgt

dracut correctly picks this up, including kvmgt.ko in the initrd (checked with lsinitrd).

But kvmgt.ko has:

[root@localhost ~]# modinfo kvmgt | grep dep
depends:        vfio,mdev,kvm

And dracut does not include any of these kernel modules into the initrd, causing these errors in dmesg.

The bug was fixed upstream with the attached patch.
