Allow aux_cache_file open()ing to fail silently even in the chroot mode.

The aux_cache fix of bug 11149 introduced a new bug - normally,
ldconfig -r never cares if the auxiliary cache is not available and
that is not a fatal problem, however this is not the case in case
of ldconfig -r when executed as non-root. In that case, ldconfig -r
fails hard unless var/cache/ldconfig/ exists within the chroot. This
patch fixes that.
