[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] Set PGROOT dir owner to be "postgres".

[Alan Yaniger]

Hi Thomas,

I see what my error was. I installed the rootfs on my SSD by copying
it from a partition on a USB-disk which I had mounted. Then I ran "cp"
to copy from the mounted partition to the SSD, and I forgot to use the -p
option to preserve attributes. When I installed after the "fix", I used "tar" to
install, which preserved the ownership.

I changed the state of the patch to "Rejected" in Patchwork.
