  Include dmsetup and dmeventd unconditionally

Changes usr/share/rear/conf/GNU/Linux.conf

Older releases of os-prober (1.74 and below) use dmsetup as a fallback
solution for mounting when grub-mount is missing.

However, dmsetup was included in the rescue image if and only if LVM,
multipath or encryption were detected.  Thus, BIOS machines that do
not use these but still have dmsetup present, would block indefinitely
on the "Installing GRUB2 boot loader..." step.

GRUB2 installation is performed in a chroot after the data have already
been recovered.  ReaR would call grub-mkconfig which calls os-prober
which then executes dmsetup.  However, it would never receive the expected
response in the form of releasing a System V semaphore by dmsetup executed
by udevd outside the chroot as rescue system would not have dmsetup present.

  Merge pull request #2748 from lzaoral/always-include-dmsetup-ifpresent

Include dmsetup and dmeventd as PROGS in conf/GNU/Linux.conf
because older releases of os-prober (1.74 and below) use dmsetup
as a fallback solution for mounting when grub-mount is missing
but without dmsetup and dmeventd also in the recovery system
that would block indefinitely at "Installing GRUB2 boot loader...",
