new kernels are not detected on Debian #88

ohai, it seems tracer does not detect new kernels on Debian.

the code added in #83 looks for folders in /lib/modules that are newer than the running kernel, but Debian does not increment the kernel version string on every update, thus the folder does not change.

you'd need to actually look inside the on disk and in memory kernels to check that: see https://github.com/liske/needrestart/blob/master/perl/lib/NeedRestart/Kernel/Linux.pm or https://github.com/bzed/pkg-nagios-plugins-contrib/blob/master/dsa/checks/dsa-check-running-kernel
