    rh/dcache: work around buggy iso images
    
    Since rebase to rhel7.6 kernel 3.10.0-759.21.3.el7 pltp-host had
    started to report about failures in isofs test.
    
    "mkisofs -f" replaces symlink to directory by 2 directories with the
    same inode number.
    
    Issue was reported to Red Hat:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1749390
    
    isofs returning same inode nr for 2 dirs /is/ a bug.
    Not clear whether it's in mkisofs, or in the kernel isofs driver,
    i.e. how isofs_get_ino() generates inodes.
    But, upstream silently mitigates the problem.
    
    Work around was proposed by Miklos Szeredi and was committed to
    kernel-3.10.0-1106.el7
    
    https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-95941
