From: Jackie Huang <jackie.huang at windriver.com>

The useradd (from package passwd) in debian based system
sets -M (--no-create-home) by default, but the one we are
using (from package shadow) sets -m (--create-home) by
default, the previous patch added -M option conditionally,
which worked but we see a confused message:
"The home directory `/home/newuser' already exists. Not copying from `/etc/skel'"

So change it to always add the -M option for useradd and let
adduser handle the home creation with its logic.

+Subject: [PATCH] adduser: add -M option for useradd
 
 The useradd (from package passwd) in debian based system sets -M (--no-create-home) by default,
 but the one we are using (from package shadow) sets -m (--create-home) by default, so we
-need to explicitly add -M option for useradd call when --no-create-home is specified for adduser.
+need to explicitly add -M option for useradd call or it will try to create home twice and
+throw a confused message:
+"The home directory `/home/newuser' already exists. Not copying from `/etc/skel'"
