Subject: [PATCH] added check if init file is a symlink to upstart

on Ubuntu 14.04 with needrestart 2.6 without the patch:

Scanning processes...
WARNING: /etc/init.d/cron has no LSB tags!===
Odd number of elements in hash assignment at /usr/sbin/needrestart line
556, <HLSB> line 119.
Use of uninitialized value in list assignment at /usr/sbin/needrestart
line 556, <HLSB> line 119.
Scanning candidates...
Scanning linux images...
Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.
Services to be restarted:

ls -al /etc/init.d/cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 15  2014 /etc/init.d/cron -> /lib/init/upstart-job

the new code will check if the init script is a symlink and the symlink
points to /lib/init/upstart-job.
