busybox-mdev: Add hotplug kernel module support to mdev.conf

Add a line to mdev.conf that tells mdev to load kernel modules when
required.

For example, if you built wifi support as an external module, inserting
a wifi stick into a USB port will now automatically load that module
into the kernel and the wlan device will be ready for configuration.
Without this patch, you have to load required modules manually or force
them to load at system startup.
