[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] socat: fix build failure due to ext2_fs.h header, bump version

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

> In kernel >= 3.3, the ext2_fs.h can no longer be imported from

> So, by running autoconf on this package, we fix the problem: it

> accordingly. Of course, it means that with recent versions of the

Forgot to say so in the commit log, but this fixes:
