[OE-core] [dizzy backport] [PATCH 3/4] sysvinit-inittab: Disable the carrier detect requirement for serial consoles

I see this patch has been committed in master. Could it be backported to 
dizzy?

This fixes a problem with some commands (for example busybox 'less' 
applet) that become unresponsive when used in a serial console on some 
hardware platforms (for example a FSL mx28).

A basic: 'less /etc/passwd' just hangs showing nothing and you can only 
stop it with CRTL-C.

As the backport seems pretty safe in general, could it be backported?
