Fixes #7969
Symbolic links seem to not be handled nicely in Files#createDirectories.
There will most likely be a future patch that targets correctly handling symlinks for this method when used in other places in the source code. But I wanted to get this out so that it can specifically target to fix this issue.
There was a bug report on this, but it was marked as NAI: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8130464
