[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] package/lvm2: Fix runtime crash when using uclibc

When using uclibc libdevmapper.so was calling dm_task_get_info_base()
function recursively, leading to segmentation fault. This was
happening because uclibc linker loader just takes first existing
'dm_task_get_info' (which is 'dm_task_get_info_base') symbol in elf
binary, instead of default version.

Add upstreamable lvm2 patch [1], which introduces
--enable-symvers[=STYLE] switch. Use that switch to disable symbol
versions, as we do not plan to support binaries compiled against
old libdevmapper library.

+Subject: [PATCH] configure: Introduce --enable-symvers option
+
+Only few libc (e.g. glibc) libraries support full symbol version
+resolution in runtime. There are lot of standard libraries that do not
+support that, such as dietlibc, musl and uclibc. Hence there is no
+reason to generate symbol versions when compiling against them.
+
+Additionally libdevmapper.so was broken when compiled against
+uclibc. Runtime linker loader caused calling dm_task_get_info_base()
+function recursively, leading to segmentation fault.
+
+Introduce --enable-symvers[=STYLE] option, which allows to choose
+between gnu and disabled symbol versioning. By default gnu symbol
+versioning is used to provide backward compatibility.
+__GNUC__ check is replaced now with GNU_SYMVER, which is generated by
+configure script. Additionally ld version script is included only in
+case of gnu option, which slightly reduces output size.
+
+Providing --disable-symvers to configure script when building against
+uclibc library fixes segmentation fault error described above, due to
+lack of several versions of the same symbol in libdevmapper.so
+library.
