[oe] New kmod {libdir} breaks udev, systemd build

Me too. systemd is failing to build for the same reason. For a quick
fix-ish workaround try adding

PKG_CONFIG_PATH =
"${PKG_CONFIG_DIR}:${STAGING_DATADIR}/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR}/${base_libdir}/pkgconfig/"

(^^ supposed to be one single line ^^)

to both systemd and udev recipes. Yes, I know, this is a very ugly
hack. I'm still waiting for a response to my either-or question in
this mail thread's first mail before submitting a patch to fix the
issue.

Regards,
Thilo
