[OE-core] [PATCH] expect: use u-a for mkpasswd

* when busybox is built with CONFIG_CRYPTPW=y, then it will provide
  alternative for mkpasswd, which will fail in postinst, because
  mkpasswd from expect wasn't using u-a:
  update-alternatives: Error: not linking rootfs/usr/bin/mkpasswd to
  /bin/busybox.nosuid since rootfs/usr/bin/mkpasswd exists and is not
  a link
