OCPBUGS-83580: Load fuse kernel module before testing /dev/fuse in CRI-O

The OCP-70987 test was failing across multiple CI platforms (AWS, GCP,
vSphere, Metal+IPv6) because /dev/fuse was not available on host nodes
where the fuse kernel module was not loaded. CRI-O silently ignores the
io.kubernetes.cri-o.Devices annotation when the device does not exist
on the host, causing the pod to start without /dev/fuse mounted.

This adds a modprobe fuse step before creating the test pod to ensure
the fuse kernel module is loaded. This is idempotent (no-op if already
loaded) and follows the same pattern used in tap.go for modprobe tun.
