Subject: [PATCH] fio: fix race condition in mktree

Despite the lack of documentation, fio.mktree() was designed to work
similar to mkdir -p: it creates the directory along with it's parents
and doesn't complain about existing ones.

But this function was subject to a race if two different processes were
trying to create the same directory at the same time. It was caused by
the fact that directory existence check and its creation aren't atomic.

This patch fixes the race by impoving error handling: it's not an error
if directory exists, even if it was created by someone else and mktree
failed.

Related to https://github.com/tarantool/doc/issues/1063
Closes #4660

(cherry picked from commit 21ae2899e7ad064fa4b2bfb7804fb4590f12c492)
