[PATCH v1 4/4] tools/ocaml/xenstored: mkdir conflicts were sometimes missed

[Edwin Török <edvin.torok@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Due to how set_write_lowpath was used here it didn't detect
create/delete conflicts.
When we create an entry we must mark our parent as modified
(this is what creating a new node via write does).

Otherwise we can have 2 transactions one creating, and another deleting
a node both succeeding depending on timing.
Or one transaction reading an entry, concluding it doesn't exist,
do some other work based on that information and successfully commit
even if another transaction creates the node via mkdir meanwhile.
