(make_dir): When reporting a mkdir failure and the
target cannot be `stat'ed, use the errno from the failed mkdir call,
not the one from the stat call.  Before this change, running
`mkdir -p /no-dir/no-dir' as an unprivileged user would wrongly
elicit `No such file or directory' instead of `Permission denied'.
