[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#588585: dkms package install fails with non-matching kernel

Package: dkms
Version: 2.1.1.2-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

dkms.conf allows to set a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL / BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_ARCH 
parameter to specify a regular expression which defines the subset of 
kernels / architectures which DKMS is allowed to build the module for. If 
the kernel being built for does not match against this regular 
expressions, the dkms build will error out with exit code 9.

The attached patch changes dkms_common.postinst to handle this dkms build 
error gracefully by skipping build for the non matching kernels.
