Do not attempt a DKMS build if the headers aren't available

* Do not attempt to build the kernel module with DKMS if the appropriate
  Linux headers aren't installed.  Based on code from the common DKMS
  postinst script (which we'll just use once it's reliably available).
  Thanks, Anders Kaseorg.  (LP: #487535)
