Union mounts design requires that the topmost directory exist for
every single directory at the time lookup completes. This is so that
we don't have to double back and create a whole path's worth of
directories whenever we copy up a file in a directory for the first
time. This greatly simplifies locking and error handling.
XXX - attributes of copied-up dir are wrong
