linux-initrd: Skip initrd module check when 'modules.alias' can't be found.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/30760>. Reported by Tomáš Čech <sleep_walker@gnu.org>. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (check-device-initrd-modules): Call 'known-module-aliases' and catch 'system-error around it. Pass it to 'matching-modules'.
