[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Fix nfs server for a read only rootfs

[Steve Calfee]

I like to run from ro root filesystem. This patch puts the nfs temp stuff in a
subdirectory of tmp. The standard buildroot /var is read only, so the build
must agree with the runtime startup to use a /tmp/nfs writeable dir.

Also create the desired subsys subdirectory in /var/lock for nfs.
