[Buildroot] [V2 1/1] ntp: security bump to verserion 4.2.8p9

[Adam Duskett]

After doing some digging into the source code, it looks like there
are two new files: include/libssl_compat.h and libssl_compat.c

These files are now referenced in quite a few places, all of which
would take quite a bit of time to unwind.

I would suggest leaving openssl as a dependency unless somebody else
wants to take a crack at cleaning it up.

Oh I agree! But it looks like that's exactly what has happened, even if
by accident!
