cf-agent should not emit an error about inability to change into subdirectory when it creates the subdir to satisfy a promise about a link

When promising that a file in a sub directory that does not exist is a symlink to another file the agent emits an error indicating it was unable to change into the directory. However the agent does go ahead and create the subdirectory in order to satisfy the promise for the link.

I believe that the agent should not emit an error for an issue that it automatically resolves.

Steps to reprouce:

find /tmp | grep subdir
rm -rf /tmp/subdir/

Policy:

bundle agent main
{
  files:
    "/tmp/subdir/doesnt/exist"
      link_from => ln_s("/tmp");
}

The above policy produces this output:

error: Failed to chdir into '/tmp/subdir/doesnt'. (chdir: 'No such file or directory')

Review state after policy run:

find /tmp | grep subdir
stat /tmp/subdir/doesnt/exist
rm -rf /tmp/subdir/

Commands produce this output: Note that the promised file is indeed a symlink to /tmp as promised.
