This commit adds a patch to btrfs-progs that fixes the build of
docker-engine, and possibly other packages including kerncompat.h from
btrfs-progs.

For the btrfs-progs build itself, a --disable-backtrace option allows to
indicate whether backtrace()/<execinfo.h> support should be used or
not. However, once btrfs-progs is installed, it simply looks at whether
__GLIBC__ is defined or not to decide to use backtrace() or not.

However, uClibc defines __GLIBC__ but does not provide backtrace()
functionality. The additional patch tweaks the kerncompat.h to look at
__UCLIBC__ and not use backtrace() functionality in this case.

Fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] kerncompat.h: define BTRFS_DISABLE_BACKTRACE when building
+ with uClibc
+
+uClibc does not provide backtrace() nor <execinfo.h>. When building
+btrfs-progs, passing --disable-backtrace is enough to make it build with
+uClibc. But once btrfs-progs is installed and another program/library
+includes kerncompat.h, it fails to build with uClibc, because
+BTRFS_DISABLE_BACKTRACE is not defined.
+
+The most correct fix for this would be to have kerncompat.h generated
+from kerncompat.h.in during the btrfs-progs build process, and tuned
+depending on autoconf/automake variables. But as a quick fix that
+follows the current strategy, we simply tweak the existing __GLIBC__
+conditional. Indeed, uClibc pretends to be glibc and defines __GLIBC__,
+but it does not replace it completely, hence the need to define
+BTRFS_DISABLE_BACKTRACE when __GLIBC__ is not defined *or* when
+__UCLIBC__ is defined.
