The seboolean, selinux, firewalld, and firewalld_info modules depend on
system bindings that are only available for the default system python
interpreter. ansible-core is not packaged for the default system python
interpreter on RHEL 8 and 9. When automatic interpreter discovery does
not occur (e.g. when using implicit localhost [1]), ansible-core will
not use the system interpreter to run ansible modules and the
aforementioned modules will not work even if the bindings are installed.
The RHEL ansible-core maintainers as well as the EPEL ansible and
ansible-collection-* package maintainers (inc. me) have gotten multiple
bug reports about this. We have been telling people to fix their setup
to use the correct Python interpreter. Fortunately, ansible-core 2.11
and above have a module utility that'll respawn modules to use the
correct system interpreter.

In Ansible 2.9 (pre 2.10 routing), the AnsiballZ creation of the payload
will add an extra directory to the module_util path because ismount.py
shares the same name as it's parent dir which creates an inconsistency
in the payload creation. This causes the Collection module
ansible.posix.mount to work in Ansible 2.10 but not 2.9, with this pull
request a simple renaming of the module_util which side steps this
inconsistency.
