Ignore dkms failure in the prerm of openafs-modules-dkms

* Ignore failures to remove an existing DKMS tree in the prerm of the
  openafs-modules-dkms package.  In the possible cases where the tree
  may not be present to be removed, failing package removal doesn't
  make sense.  (Further addresses LP #368471.)
