[OE-core] busybox can no longer upgrade on a running system

Don't think anyone noticed yet, but if you try to upgrade busybox
through "opkg upgrade", you'll end up with a bricked box.
Apparently busybox kills the /bin/sh link somewhere during the upgrade,
and that results in the upgrade failing and a system that won't boot.
One way to work around the problem appears to be to remove "/bin/sh"
from the busybox.links.nosuid file, so that update-alternatives won't
touch it.
I haven't figured out yet what caused the regression. It's probably been
like this for months.
