[Buildroot] [PATCH v1] package/busybox: Avoid "can't create /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug" error

[Andy Shevchenko]

At runtime on most of the modern kernels [1] S10mdev script produces an error:

/etc/init.d/S10mdev: line 9: can't create /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug: nonexistent directory

since the commit

  caae7fa1d737 ("busybox: register mdev as hotplug helper when selected")

added it unconditionally.

Check the presence of procfs node before writing to it.

[1]: Linux kernels with the commit
       86d56134f1b6 ("kobject: Make support for uevent_helper optional.")
     applied.

Fixes: caae7fa1d737 ("busybox: register mdev as hotplug helper when selected")
