main/busybox: fix find -xdev -delete

Dominique Martinet requested to merge martinetd/aports:busybox_find_xdev_delete into master

find with -depth (implied by -delete) ignores -xdev, which has been a long standing bug.

This bite us in scripts' cleanup, so would appreciate getting it fixed as there is no easy workaround...
(for example, something like this, ignoring errors:

  unshare -m sh -c 'mount --bind "$1" /mnt && rm -rf /mnt' -- "$dir" && rmdir "$dir"

)

Patch was sent upstream as well, but no reply yet (which I'd claim is not that surprising)
