[PATCH] locale: Call fchmod() before calling link()

Subject: [PATCH] locale: Call fchmod() before calling link()

The [rpm-ostree](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree)
project implements atomic, online system upgrades using
[libostree](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/), which
contains a `rofiles-fuse` program:
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/blob/master/man/rofiles-fuse.xml

Currently rpm-ostree will run all scripts, such as glibc's
`build-locale-archive` with an rofiles-fuse mount active. This fails
because we call `fchmod()` *after* calling `link()`, and `rofiles-fuse`
rejects writes to files with multiple links.

There's no reason not to call `fchmod()` beforehand in all cases, so let's do
so
and fix the `rofiles-fuse` case.
