Subject: [PATCH] mkdir: allow to create directory whose path contains symlink
Fixes a regression caused by 3008a6f21c1c42efe852d69798a2fdd63fe657ec.
Before the commit, when `mkdir_parents_internal()` is called from `mkdir_p()`,
it uses `_mkdir()` as `flag` is zero. But after the commit, `mkdir_safe_internal()`
is always used. Hence, if the path contains a symlink, it fails with -ENOTDIR.
To fix the issue, this makes `mkdir_p()` calls `mkdir_parents_internal()` with
MKDIR_FOLLOW_SYMLINK flag.
Fixes #22334.
(cherry picked from commit 5117059ee9f84ed2fd37801ec0b90473db475422)
