[erlang-patches] Tiny patch to inet_drv.c for Solaris Open Indiana and Illumos

It should no longer be needed after they reapplied my patch to use
libdlpi to retrieve the mac address. (I just built everything on
Solaris 11, and it detects everything correctly out of the box).

At least on my OpenIndiana box (and I would guess other clones as
well) libdlpi needs libdladm.so.1 which is installed in /lib, and
libdlpi.so doesn't include an rpath to automatically detect it. That
means that you'd need to add: LDFLAGS="-L/lib -R/lib" for it to
successfully detect the availability of the library.
