When installing from a hard drive, loader used to copy install.img to
tmpfs and unmount the partition afterward. We're avoiding that (to save
RAM) and it works fine in most cases.
However: for preupgrade, stage2 is stored in /boot. When anaconda tries
to mount /boot for upgrading, it finds that it's already mounted, pops
up a "Fatal error" dialog, and exits.
So, a hack: if "preupgrade" or "upgrade" or "inst.upgrade" is in the
boot args, and we're getting the installer image from a disk, copy the
install image into tmpfs and unmount the disk before proceeding.
