Use /sys/module instead of /proc/modules. 

When libzfs checks if the module is loaded or not, it currently reads
/proc/modules and searches for a line matching the module name.

Unfortunately, if the module is included in the kernel itself (built-in
module), then /proc/modules won't list it, so libzfs will wrongly conclude
that the module is not loaded, thus making all ZFS userspace tools unusable.

Fortunately, all loaded modules appear as directories in /sys/module, even
built-in ones. Thus we can use /sys/module in lieu of /proc/modules to fix
the issue.

As a bonus, the code for checking becomes much simpler.
