Incomplete error message when mkdir fails

[RichiH]

I made a mistake setting up my unit file's working directory and was greeted by:

Dec 07 23:24:05 33c3-prom01 prometheus[28076]: time="2016-12-07T23:24:05+01:00" level=info msg="Starting prometheus (version=1.4.1, branch=master, revision=63fe65bf2ff8c480bb4350e4d278d3208ca687be)" source="main.go:77"

Dec 07 23:24:05 33c3-prom01 systemd[1]: Unit prometheus.service entered failed state.

It would be better to show $PWD of where the mkdir failed.

With patch or just so? Richard Sent by mobile; excuse my brevity.

This was fixed in #2270 as referenced above.

Weird, GitHub did not note that in the mail. Thanks and a happy 2017! Richard
