[Buildroot] [PATCH] ltp-testsuite: disable Open POSIX testsuite

The Open POSIX testsuite builds and installs to the target directory a
program called 't0' that isn't cross-compiled, which is bad.

Since the LTP build system is autoconf but not automake based, and the
Open POSIX testsuite is a sort of sub-project inside it, fixing the
issue is not trivial.

Therefore, we simply disable the Open POSIX testsuite entirely. Oddly
enough, --without-open-posix-testsuite doesn't work due to another bug,
so we simply have to remove --with-open-posix-testsuite.

Open POSIX testsuite cross-compilation issue reported at
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/issues/144.

Configure script bug reported at
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/issues/143.
