xenstore: send error earlier in do_mkdir
    
    XenServer's coverity instance complains that a few lines below
    create_node dereferences NULL if name == NULL. It however fails to
    figure out that if node is NULL, errno won't be ENOENT, so do_mkdir
    should have bailed before create_node.
    
    That said, it would be good if we don't need to go through the hops.  We
    can bail earlier if name is NULL.
