Tested on rhel7 on ppc64le with Boot on ISO

Brief description of the changes in this pull request:

Fix an error due to missing $TMP_DIR/ before $REAR_INITRD_FILENAME.
This prevents the ISO to be generated because of initrd cannot be found.

We miss this one ... maybe because I mostly use PXE to test ReaR on Power....
If you agree, I would like to merge this one ASAP.

@schabrolles
many thanks for testing OUTPUT=ISO on PPC64LE!

FYI:
Currently I fail to see via my "usual forensics" using
git log -p --follow usr/share/rear/output/ISO/Linux-ppc64le/800_create_isofs.sh
how that could have ever worked or when it became broken again
since https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/109

I have the dim feeling I may have had messed it up
at the time when I introduced REAR_INITRD_FILENAME?

@jsmeix I don't know either how it could have worked before (I'm sure it was working...)
Maybe some script like 800_create_isofs.sh were previously executed inside the $TMP_DIR...
