rpmdb: prevent race in tmpdir creation
If two (or more) instances of rpm are running at the same time they may
be trying to create the same (base-)temporary directory at the same time
which causes the other mkdir to fail with EEXIST. This patch prevents a
failure caused by this race by ignoring EEXIST error on directory
creation.
