[SPARK-23815][CORE] Spark writer dynamic partition overwrite mode may…

… fail to write output on multi level partition

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Spark introduced new writer mode to overwrite only related partitions in SPARK-20236. While we are using this feature in our production cluster, we found a bug when writing multi-level partitions on HDFS.

A simple test case to reproduce this issue:
val df = Seq(("1","2","3")).toDF("col1", "col2","col3")
df.write.partitionBy("col1","col2").mode("overwrite").save("/my/hdfs/location")

If HDFS location "/my/hdfs/location" does not exist, there will be no output.

This seems to be caused by the job commit change in SPARK-20236 in HadoopMapReduceCommitProtocol.

In the commit job process, the output has been written into staging dir /my/hdfs/location/.spark-staging.xxx/col1=1/col2=2, and then the code calls fs.rename to rename /my/hdfs/location/.spark-staging.xxx/col1=1/col2=2 to /my/hdfs/location/col1=1/col2=2. However, in our case the operation will fail on HDFS because /my/hdfs/location/col1=1 does not exists. HDFS rename can not create directory for more than one level.

This does not happen in the new unit test added with SPARK-20236 which uses local file system.

We are proposing a fix. When cleaning current partition dir /my/hdfs/location/col1=1/col2=2 before the rename op, if the delete op fails (because /my/hdfs/location/col1=1/col2=2 may not exist), we call mkdirs op to create the parent dir /my/hdfs/location/col1=1 (if the parent dir does not exist) so the following rename op can succeed.

Reference: in official HDFS document(https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/filesystem/filesystem.html), the rename command has precondition "dest must be root, or have a parent that exists"

## How was this patch tested?

We have tested this patch on our production cluster and it fixed the problem
