Ignore modprobe failures in ExecStartPre (systemd unit)

When running containerd inside LXC, due to systemd being unable to execute `modprobe overlay` inside the container (module is already loaded in host kernel). This patch adds a `-` prefix to the `ExecStartPre` command, so that failures are ignored, and the service can start as usual. Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl>
