Description

On launching Wifibox, the following errors are emitted consistently:

kldstat: can't find file nmdm: No such file or directory
kldunload: can't find file nmdm
ERROR: nmdm.ko is loaded from a different location, but cannot be replaced.

Expected behavior: the application should start up without any errors.

Consider built-in kernel modules on checking their presence.
544dbff 
The `assert_kmod_loaded` function expects kernel modules to be
loaded from a specified location and it fails to work if the
module in question has been actually added to the kernel.  This
case was not considered before because both `nmdm` and `vmm` are
shipped as optional, loadable modules with the stock FreeBSD
kernel, and that is usually not an issue.

Relax this restriction and allow working with built-in kernel
modules.  This way users with customized kernels would be
supported.  The original motivation behind this check is to ensure
that the loadable modules are created for a compatible kernel.
But that implicitly holds when they are included there.

Fixes #136
