package/util-linux-libs: allowing building even on non-Y2038 compliant systems

Browse source 
Since the bump of util-linux to version 2.40.2 in Buildroot commit
f14929c657 ("package/util-linux: update
to 2.40.2"), the build will fail on systems that are not Y2038,
such as uClibc configurations.

In order to preserve the previous behavior, pass --disable-year2038.
See the gnulib documentation for details [1]. Contrary to what the
option name might suggest, it doesn't really disable Y2038 support,
but only the check that the system is Y2038 compliant. So even with
--disable-year2038, if the system is Y2038 compliant (uses a 64-bit
arch, uses the musl C library, or uses the glibc C library with
BR2_TIME_BITS_64=y), util-linux tools will be Y2038 compliant.

"--disable-year2038" was already added to util-linux in commit
11ae90b00 "package/util-linux: allowing building even on non-Y2038
compliant systems".
