Bug Description

By dkms calling itself to get information about dkms module status at each kernel module during uninstall, a big amount of time is wasted, since at looping on the kernel modules of a dkms module, the status of the latter will not change.

Putting the same outside the loop speeds up execution for the same by factor 60
