[OE-core] [PATCH v3 3/4] util-linux: Use PTEST binary directory

[Mariano Lopez]

Some binaries generated by util-linux will be replaced by core-utils
in the final image by update-alternatives, so use a dedicated directory
with symlinks to avoid using a binary generated by another package.

This will solve the issue with the ptest runner timing out when
running the kill ptests for util-linux.
