Subject: [PATCH] Make initrd accessible only by root (#3123)
In pack/GNU/Linux/900_create_initramfs.sh call
chmod 0600 "$TMP_DIR/$REAR_INITRD_FILENAME"
to let only 'root' access the ReaR initrd because
the ReaR recovery system in the initrd can contain secrets
(not by default but when certain things are explicitly
configured by the user like SSH keys without passphrase)
see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3122
and https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218728
