cachefiles: vfs_mkdir() might succeed leaving dentry negative unhashed

That can (and does, on some filesystems) happen - ->mkdir() (and thus
vfs_mkdir()) can legitimately leave its argument negative and just

next time we try to look at that name.

Some vfs_mkdir() callers forget about that possibility...
