package/fakeroot: fix highly parallel uses

Although the issue can very well occur with low-paralle builds, or even
with non-parallel builds, the conditions are so strict that the ocasion
it breaks is extremely rare, to the point where a failure would go
unnoticed.

Fixes #10141.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] communicate: check return status of msgrcv()
+
+msgrcv can return with -1 to indicate an error condition.
+One such error is to have been interrupted by a signal.
+
+Being interrupted by a signal is very rare in this code, except in a
+very special condition: a highly-parallel (1000 jobs!) mksquashfs on
+a filesystem with extended attributes, where we see errors like (those
+are mksquashfs errors):
+    llistxattr for titi/603/883 failed in read_attrs, because Unknown
+    error 1716527536
+
+See: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10141
+
+In this case, we just have to retry the call to msgrcv().
