updated rh.patch

Description of problem:

Lockdev has had new upstream for almost 2 year now. They merged all patches
from various distros and done many other changes. The most important for you is
that lockdev-devel in Fedora-17 no longer contains baudboy.h so you need to use
ttylock.h instead of baudboy.h and link against liblockdev.

You need to fix minicom-2.5-rh.patch (I'm attaching updated one) and run autoreconf before %configure
