Subject: Implement ovpn version detection
References: bsc#1239783
Git-repo: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn.git
Git-commit: f6c95ac2ffa69a1caaf2785859c48295a3bea199
Patch-mainline: v2.7.0
Add detection of the ovpn kernel module type: if a backported
(out-of-tree) version is loaded, the MODULE_VERSION string is read from
sysfs; otherwise, for the in-tree module, the function reports the
kernel release and version.
