[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/e2fsprogs: Don't build docs for host

texinfo isn't provided for the host in buildroot, but e2fsprogs always
attempts to build the documentation. The error that gets printed is as
follows:

/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'libext2fs.info*': No such file or directory
make[3]: [Makefile:363: install-doc-libs] Error 1 (ignored)

This error is ignored but it is unnecessary.
