activation: Create directory with specified perms in ‘mkdir-p/perms’.
There is currently a window of time between when the desired directory is created and when its permissions are changed. During this time, its permissions are restricted only by the umask. Of course, in the "directory already exists" case, this doesn't matter, but if the directory has been specifically deleted ahead of time so that it is created afresh, this is an unnecessary window. We can avoid this by passing the caller-provided BITS to 'mkdirat' when attempting to create the last directory. * gnu/build/activation.scm (mkdir-p/perms): Create target directory with BITS permissions.
