Recursive mkdir currently checks an existing intermediate entry directly, so a symlink to a directory is treated as a non-directory and throws ENOTDIR. Resolve symlinked intermediate components while walking the recursive mkdir path, creating new directories in the resolved target while preserving the caller-facing first-created return path.

Fix recursive
mkdirinnode:vfsso symlinked intermediatedirectories are followed, matching native
fsbehavior.The change preserves the caller-facing return value for the first
created path while creating directories in the resolved symlink target.
