    creatingminlayout: Set the owner and permission of $LFS
    
    The host distro may have an insane default for root_owner and/or
    root_perms in /etc/mke2fs.conf, so let's make it sane on our own.  Note
    that MKE2FS_CONFIG=/dev/null makes mke2fs refuse to run so we cannot
    suppress the host mke2fs.conf.
