util: reduce pointer hell in _alpm_makepath_mode
Simplify the implementation: - allocate and manipulate a copy of the passed in path rather than building out a path as the while loop progresses - use simple pointer arithmetic to skip uninteresting cases - use mkdir(3)'s return value and errno to detect failure Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
