Description of problem:

When Guangze executing info test (with a non-redhat module inserted), the following traceback displayed:

Subtest: Modules - Check kernel modules
checking modules...
Error: Non-Red Hat driver vendor The ELRepo Project (http://elrepo.org) for module ac97_bus
Error: Driver module ac97_bus was built on Build64R6.elrepo.org and not built at Red Hat.

Module: ac97_bus
Kernel: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
Whitelist: /lib/modules/kabi/kabi_whitelist_x86_64

Note: ac97_bus seems to use only official ABI.

So far we both couldn't reproduce it, but we do have a simple fix for it.

since the parameter passed to os.path.isfile() couldn't be None, we could add one more check point.
