[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/openvmtools: move files up from unnecessary subdirectory

[Karoly Kasza]

The Open-vm-tools package is now distributed from GitHub and a new
subdirectory was introduced, which breaks the Buildroot process.

This patch moves everything up from the new subdirectory after
extraction, making Buildroot once again able to run.

Fixes:

Or you could use:

OPENVMTOOLS_SUBDIR = open-vm-tools

Also, I assume this variable only tells the build system where to start
configure/make etc,
so all patches also has to be modified, am I right?
