dpkg: Defer hardlink renames to avoid breakage on unpack
This fixes two issues related to making the new file contents available
through an alternative but final path before
1) the one "carrying" the content has been fsync()ed, to avoid getting
garbage on system failure.
2) the deferred fsync() on the main path has been performed, avoiding
a possible error when reopening the file for writing if it's currently
under execution.
Deferring the hardlink is safe as they are always after the tar entry
containing the actual file data.
Regression introduced in commit 9cd41fdda1c27169c52d73b3b3ce71991d724994.
Closes: #635683
