[Buildroot] [git commit] filesystems: also chown symlinks

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=3fbd9887b324f7b64a583243bf0a770527cb5f61
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Currently, the symlinks in the generated filesystems will have the
UID of the user running the build, because 'chown' does not change
the ownership of symlinks, by default.

Although the implications are limited, some may not want that UID
to leak in the generated filesystems.

So, use 'chown -h' so even symlinks get properly chowned.
