[Buildroot] [PATCH] apply-patches: run patch in batch mode

If the file to be patched is missing, then `patch' will interactively
ask for a file to be patched. This is annoying in e.g. the autobuilders
because they have to wait for a timeout instead of failing.

Giving the '-t' (batch mode) option to patch fixes this: it will skip the
missing file, and return a non-zero exit code. So the build cleanly
fails.

I actually discovered this during my allyesconfig night build, where I
use make -k.
