[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] fix rpmbuild failure because of wrong symlink length on some filesystems (#1740)

[Demi Marie Obenour]

> But I am hesitant to merge this just to work around what looks to me like a very obvious bug in an file system. Let's keep this open until we see where [google/fscrypt#305](https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/305) is going. But I suspect this issue is going to get fixed (hopefully) quickly.

As mentioned in that issue, returning an accurate value would cause a performance penalty, which is why it has not been done yet.  Since rpmbuild (presumably) needs the actual symlink target, it can just call `readlink` and cache the result, which has no performance penalty.
