d/postinst: Workaround failure to create DB with libpam-tmpdir

Sunil Mohan Adapa requested to merge sunilmohan/mariadb-server:fix-create-db-with-pam-tmpdir into debian/latest

Closes: https://bugs.debian.org/1022994

On Debian GNU/Linux, when the package libpam-tmpdir is installed, mysql_install_db script fails during post install setup. As a result, mariadb daemon fails to start.

Errors like this are typically seen when directories/files are created by root user in the $TMPDIR and later a non-root user tries to access those files without any further permission changes. libpam-tmpdir tries to ensure that temporary files created by one user are not accidentally accessible to unauthorized users.

This bug is reported upstream as: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-29910

This patch is a workaround until that issue is fixed.
