[OE-core] [PATCH 1/2] tinylogin: fix segfault from crypt()

In glibc 2.17, crypt() now expects 2 valid chars for the seed or
it will error out and return a NULL. The tinylogin code took the
result from crypt directly into a strcmp() which caused a segfault

Tinylogin has been deperacted, busybox now has login support, I will
investigate using busybox login support for 1.5.

+staring from glibc 2.17 the crypt() function will error out and return
+NULL if the seed or "correct" is invalid. The failure case for this is
+an unknown user which tinylogin assigns '!' for the password. crypt() 
+now expects a minimum of 2 valid characters. If we get a NULL return
+value from the crypt, assume we fail and return 0.
