focal: upgrade if multipath-tools results in modprobe error messages

[Chad Smith]

Running apt dist-upgrade in a focal lxc on an ubuntu host resulted in some unexpected error messages during package install. Not certain if that impacted multipath services.

Saw a couple of potentially concerning logs, not sure if it impacts services or tooling

Thanks Chad for the report, I'm assigning Rafael to take an initial look as he did the merge.

I believe this is a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1864992 and not related to multipath
