Issue with similar for reshaped sparse matrix

[jebej]

Currently this does not work due to a missing spzeros method:

rdims = (2,2)
perm = [2,4,1,3]
A = sparse([1,4,2,3,2,3,1,4],[1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4],[0.125,0.125,0.375,0.375,0.375,0.375,0.125,0.125])
B = reshape(A,rdims...,rdims...)
C = permutedims(B,perm)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching spzeros(::Type{Float64}, ::Int64, ::Int64, ::Int64, ::Int64)

Just trying to copy(B) also fails for the same reason.

It seems like it should work, since the following does work:

C = reshape(copy(A),rdims...,rdims...)
permutedims!(C,B,perm)

I think this is caused by JuliaLang/julia#23905.

Fixed by JuliaLang/julia#17507 and JuliaLang/julia#24260 on master. Thanks!
