Add vmd to modules list when nvme is added to it
VMD is Intel's Volume Management Device. Some Intel-based machines
have a BIOS/UEFI option to present a NVME SSD via either VMD or as
a "native" NVME device.
If Alpine is installed on a NVME device when it is presented via
VMD then once the Alpine ISO/USB boots the 'vmd' kernel module will
be loaded by /etc/init.d/hwdrivers and Alpine will see a
/dev/nvme0n1 device to which setup-alpine can install successfully.
However, once the newly installed system is then booted from the
NVME device the initramfs' init will fail to find the rootfs to
mount/boot from as, without the 'vmd' module being loaded, no NVME
device will be visible.
This MR ensures that the 'vmd' kernel module is added to the cmdline
modules list whenever the 'vmd' has been automatically loaded by
hwdrivers init.d when booting Alpine prior to running
setup-alpine/setup-disk.
This MR works together with
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/mkinitfs/-/merge_requests/112
(which ensures that 'vmd' present in the initramfs).
