[kernel] Avoid capturing blanket 'find -ls'
Previously, if sos was run in an environment where '/lib/modules/*' did not exist, the kernel plugin would pass an empty extra_mod_paths list to 'find -ls', which would in turn cause sos to execute 'find -ls' on the entire filesystem. While this situation may seem rare, this is a possiblity whenever sos is run in a container that does not have the proper environment variable set that indicates to the active policy that sos is in fact in a container. On top of generating a sosreport with little to useful information in this case, the generated sosreport could potentially be very large due to the collection of a blanket 'find -ls'. This prevents this from occuring, by not running 'find -ls' if the extra_mod_paths list is empty. Resolves: #1288 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bryn M.
