echo would fail if /sys is not mounted and boot would abort

During boot, there is a brief window during which /dev/initctl is
missing, which breaks initscripts that would need to access it. This
occurs because /etc/init.d/mountall.sh (rcS.d/S02...) attempts to ensure
/dev/initctl is present, but /etc/init.d/mdev (rcS.d/S06...) mounts over
/dev and clobbers the work done by mountall, and then does not wait
synchronously until initctl is ready before continuing.

To close this window, in /etc/init.d/mdev, we check whether /dev/initctl
is present, and if not, we remove it and recreate it.  This is the same
thing that is done by /etc/init.d/mountall.sh, and we have verified that
any writers of /dev/initctl will wait synchronously until sysvinit
notices the change in fd and does the read, so no race exists.

/dev/mdev.seq exists to synchronize concurrently running instances of
mdev and to ensure that they execute in the proper order.  Without this
synchronization, it is possible to have inconsistent mount points, to
leak device nodes, or to have a node erroneously removed in rapid
hotplug scenarios.

Enable the use of mdev.seq by creating an empty /dev/mdev.seq at boot.

This changes the packaging only if the configuration used has mdev
support enabled.
