package/makedevs: allow recursive on directory with dangling symlinks

Browse Source 
When using BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE to change ownership of /etc, like so:

  /etc        r  -1 root     wheel     - - - - -

makedevs fails due to trying to chown() a dangling symlink:

  makedevs: chown failed for /src/myLinux/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/target/etc/mtab: No such file or directory
  makedevs: line 25: recursive failed for /src/myLinux/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/target/etc: No such file or directory
  make[2]: *** [fs/ext2/ext2.mk:63: /src/myLinux/output/images/rootfs.ext2] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/src/myLinux/buildroot'

This patch changes chown() to lchown() in two cases in makedevs.c when
the argument can be a symlink, dangling or not.

In case the recursive operation includes a chmod() as well, explicitly
exclude symlinks that are dangling, because chmod() always operates on
the link target.
