commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=447feaf9862fae7ba37a88717890784bc48b2ad7
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Since mtd was converted to the package infrastructure in commit
de4cf4e9135e198d4c3beefc8ad63c03870eb78a ("mtd: convert to gentargets,
add host package"), its host variant depended on host-e2fsprogs. At
the time, only a host variant of the mtd package was available.

When a target variant of mtd was introduced in commit
b50e0fa113bf641a3764ae99b94bb7ba4e1e8f85 ("mtd: add option to build
mkfs.ubifs for target"), it depended on util-linux.

So today, the target variant continues to depend on util-linux, while
the host variant depends on e2fsprogs. What mkfs.ubifs really needs
is libuuid, which is provided by util-linux. It was in fact provided
by the fact that host-e2fsprogs depends on host-util-linux.

But really, host-e2fsprogs is not needed as a dependency, so use
host-util-linux to be consistent with the target variant.
