[stable-2.16] Fix installing roles containing symlinks (#82911)

@@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
 bugfixes:
   - ansible-galaxy role install - normalize tarfile paths and symlinks using ``ansible.utils.path.unfrackpath`` and consider them valid as long as the realpath is in the tarfile's role directory (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
+  - ansible-galaxy role install - fix symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82702, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
