[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux/tools: make it a real, separate package

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

All,

> The kernel source tree also contains the sources for various userland

I forgot to select BR2_LEGACY (for all three symbols).

Fixed locally. I'll wait for other reviews before respinning...
