[syslinux] [PATCH] extlinux: Make sure ldlinux.sys file is installed

Due to delayed allocation feature on XFS filesystems, a write is not
guaranteed to flushed out to the underlying file system after crash or
something else - so we need to make sure that ldlinux.sys is installed
correctly in the mounted filesystem.
