When writing a file into a hamt shard we hash the filename to figure out where in the
shard to place the file.

If the hash means that we end up adding the file into an existing subshard that also
contains another subshard, we should populate the other subshard's children otherwise
they will not be there when we calculate the new CID for the subshard and they will
be lost.

Fixes #3921
