Patch reverts upstream commit:
https://github.com/collectd/collectd/commit/6124da7a48f28f54fc09ebeb942d1037516fe6ab

The commit changed the detection path due to FreeBSD issues,
but apparently affects also Openwrt buildroot negatively.

Original explanation:
  From 6124da7a48f28f54fc09ebeb942d1037516fe6ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
  Subject: [PATCH] Fix libmodbus detection on FreeBSD

  We look for modbus/modbus.h in /usr/local/include/modbus
  but we should look for modbus.h

  This is only an issue on FreeBSD since /usr/local/include is not
  in the default search path.
