There is no need to perform the additional stat in the ENOENT case as the
preceding apr_file_open has the APR_CREATE flag set. This means the ENOENT
status will mean that an intermediate directory does not exist (man 2 open).
Although it could also mean a dangling symlink in the intermediate path,
this is for all intents and purposes equivalent - it should still be a 409.

Attaching a simpler patch shortly.

Although the patch does not fix a second (independent) problem
(COPY/MOVE from a non readable source should not return 500) I don't see
why this is a reason why not to fix one of these bugs.

The original report for the litmus test is:
(COPY/MOVE to a destination collection where an intermediate does not exist
should return 403) which is what the patch fixes.

Perhaps a new bug should be created (COPY/MOVE from a non readable source
should not return 500) or this one left open and retitled - but can we
possbily apply a fix for one of these bugs.
