patch fs/ext2/ext2.mk to touch file that'll contain filesystem

After using raspberrypicm4io_64_defconfig, then doing make, the build process
ends as follows:

...
printf '   \n' >>
/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/fakeroot
printf '   \n' >>
/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/fakeroot
printf '        rm -f /home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/images/rootfs.ext2\n      
/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/host/sbin/mkfs.ext4 -d
/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/target -r 1 -N 0 -m 5 -L
"rootfs" -O ^64bit /home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/images/rootfs.ext2 "120M" ||
{ ret=$?; echo "*** Maybe you need to increase the filesystem size
(BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_SIZE)" 1>&2; exit $ret; }\n' >>
/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/fakeroot
chmod a+x /home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/fakeroot

mkfs.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to determine filesystem size
*** Maybe you need to increase the filesystem size
(BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_SIZE)
make: *** [fs/ext2/ext2.mk:63:
/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/images/rootfs.ext2] Error 1

--

I can reproduce in commandline by just running:

/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/host/sbin/mkfs.ext4 -d
/home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/build/buildroot-fs/ext2/target -r 1 -N 0 -m 5 -L
"rootfs" -O ^64bit /home/ldr/src/buildroot/output/images/rootfs.ext2 "120M"

--

so the mkfs.ext4 wants the file that will contain the filesystem to already
exist, which it doesnt, becuase it's removed one command earlier.

--

I was able to fix my issue by adding a touch in fs/ext2/ext2.mk.

Please see attachment.

But not sure if this is a correct way to fix my issue.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Leon
