[yocto] busybox / sysklogd post install conflict

[ChenQi]

Is it because that these two commands are packaged into busybox instead 
of busybox-syslog?
If some layer introduces such change, then a bbappend file in that layer 
needs to be added to also modify sysklogd recipe accordingly.

Anyway, thanks for raising this problem up. When checking the sysklogd 
recipe, I found a typo from my previous patch.
I've sent out patch to fix it.
