CA-399643 Use full paths when stopping fairlock on upgrade #708

Amend the fairlock upgrade scriptlet so that it uses full paths. This prevents it failing unexpectedly. Also, change it from a %posttrans scriptlet to a %post scriptlet so that the new version will have an effect immediately any new version is available.

What allows to ensure that there's no lock at the time of the RPM update?

The toolstack assures us they do not perform RPM upgrades while simultaneously performing storage management operations. Anyone on the command line who chooses to do an RPM upgrade in the middle of a disk shuffle should expect many more problems than just the odd dropped lock :-)

Thanks. Is it the fact that the host is disabled during the upgrades which ensures this?
