[Buildroot] [PATCH] Update version of device-mapper, add alternate location

[Buildroot] [PATCH] Update version of device-mapper, add alternate location

[Pavel Roskin]

Old versions of device-mapper are moved to the "old" directory.  Since
new versions are released very often, tracking them would require
frequent changes.

To avoid the breakage, look in the "old" directory if the package is not
found.

I don't like the idea of silently using an old version, but then, i
don't use dm myself.

Merged as r16713, thanks
