[Bug-tar] tar-1.14.90 can't handle device nodes properly with -p

when extracting device nodes from a tarball and using -p, permissions arent 
restored properly to non-existent devices  ... this worked in 1.14 and 
earlier ;)

test case:
# mkdir test
# cd test
# mknod node c 0 0
# chown bin:wheel node
# chmod 777 node
# cat node
cat: node: No such device or address
# ls -l node
crwxrwxrwx  1 bin wheel 0, 0 Oct 11 node
# tar -jcpf tarball.tbz2 node
# mkdir dir
# tar -jxpf tarball.tbz2 -C dir
tar: node: Cannot change ownership to uid 1, gid 10: No such device or address
tar: Error exit dealyed from previous errors
# ls -l dir/node
crwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0, 0 Oct 11  dir/node
