[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] fs/common.mk: fix the globing pattern

The FAKEROOT script uses [^x] wildcard patterns which, while supported
by many shells and interpreted like a regex, are undefined according
to POSIX.

The dash shell (/bin/sh) on Debian testing switched to a different
fnmatch/glob implementation that does not support [^x]. Instead it
treats [^x] as either "^" or "x", and as a result buildroot fails to
build on this distro:

rm: refusing to remove '.' or '..' directory: skipping '/build/buildroot-fs/cpio/target/run/..'
rm: refusing to remove '.' or '..' directory: skipping '/build/buildroot-fs/cpio/target/tmp/..'

The correct form should be [!x] rather than [^x].
