lib/fs: replace MkdirAllIfNotExist->MustMkdirIfNotExist and MkdirAllFailIfExist->MustMkdirFailIfExist

Callers of these functions log the returned error and then exit. The returned error already contains the path
to directory, which was failed to be created. So let's just log the error together with the call stack
inside these functions. This leaves the debuggability of the returned error at the same level
while allows simplifying the code at callers' side.

While at it, properly use MustMkdirFailIfExist instead of MustMkdirIfNotExist inside inmemoryPart.MustStoreToDisk().
It is expected that the inmemoryPart.MustStoreToDick() must fail if there is already a directory under the given path.
