[bug#41924] [PATCH] profiles: Make linux-module-database skip inappropriate inputs

[Ivan Kozlov]

This allows a Linux package with CONFIG_MODULES=n, that doesn’t contain the 
‘lib/modules’ directory, to be used.

* guix/profiles.scm (linux-module-database): Add if clause to ignore unrelated 
inputs. Allow empty result.
