    dracut: let module handling function accept optional path option
    
    Let the caller pass in the module path instead of try to find the module
    path everytime. This helps optimize the overall runtime.
    
    Test results (3 rounds) on Fedora 30 in KVM VM with 8 CPUs, 2G memory, HDD:
    
        $ time ./dracut.sh --local --quiet --hostonly --hostonly-cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict' -o 'plymouth dash resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/fedora-root /sysroot xfs defaults' --no-hostonly-default-device -f initramfs.img

    This will have an ~2s speed up.
