mkdir -m option POSIX compliance

[Alex Unleashed]

Hi all,

"mkdir -m mode -p /some/directory" calls chmod() on /some/directory even if
it already exists, effectively changing the mode. POSIX specifies that this
mode may only be applied to newly created directories. Patch attached.
Please look at the URLs referenced in the patch for further information.

Thanks,

Alex
