keventd: record the libblkid build requirement
keventd is the only thing in the tree that links libblkid, so a tree that used to build now stops in configure with no hint of which package to install. Say so where people look for dependencies, and give CI the package it now needs. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
