dpkg: don't ohshite if lutimes() fails with ENOSYS
Glibc implements lutimes() on top of utimensat() which is only provided
by Linux >= 2.6.22. With older kernels it returns ENOSYS.
This regression was introduced by commit
b3eb59cf43c286bb6c906c00ef1cdc0ec21f474d which implemented support for
setting timestamps of symlinks.
