    fadump: preserve file modification time to help with hardlinking

    With commit fa9201b2 ("fadump: isolate fadump initramfs image within
    the default one"), initramfs image gets to hold two images, one for
    production kernel boot purpose and the other for capture kernel boot.
    Most files are common among the two images. Retain file modification
    time to replace duplicate files with hardlinks and save space. Also,
    avoid unnecessarily compressing fadump image that is decompressed
    immediately anyway.
