[PATCH 0/1] utils.py: default mode on mkdirhier

[Peter Seebach <peter.seebach@windriver.com>]

It turns out that bb.utils.mkdirhier() is occasionally called with
widely varying umasks, including but not limited to 022, 002, or 0.
This can result in unpredictable directory permissions, depending on
which context you were in when a directory got made, and it can
also result in mode 777 directories, which are Probably Bad. (The
most obvious case involves packages-split being created by
accident with umask 0 in populate_packages, shortly before a later
attempt to create it with umask 022.)

I've done test builds with this modification, and nothing seemed to
go wrong. I used an optional argument, rather than just hard-coding
the 0755, because if I use an optional argument it will always
be right, but if I don't I'm sure it will turn out to break something.

The following changes since commit d150226d11d5f041f78c8c3ce4abc5465dbc81d8:
