[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] openntpd: fix musl build with older kernel headers

musl provides its own SYS_getrandom definition, but not GRND_NONBLOCK.
This breaks the build with kernel headers older than v3.17. Add a patch
adding a local definition of GRND_NONBLOCK to fix the build.

The getentropy_linux.c file is in upstream tarball, but not in its git
repository. It originates form OpenBSD. For this reason the patch is
against the tarball, but not git formatted.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix build with musl and older Linux kernel
+
+The musl libc carries its own copy of Linux system calls. When building
+with Linux headers older than v3.17, musl provides SYS_getrandom
+definition, but not GRND_NONBLOCK. This causes build failure for
+libressl and openntpd:
+
+getentropy_linux.c: In function 'getentropy_getrandom':
+getentropy_linux.c:205:42: error: 'GRND_NONBLOCK' undeclared (first use in this function)
+   ret = syscall(SYS_getrandom, buf, len, GRND_NONBLOCK);
+                                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Define GRND_NONBLOCK locally when its definition is missing to fix the
+build. There should be no run-time effect. Older kernels return ENOSYS
+for unsupported syscall().
