Bug Description

/lib/modules is now created by a package in the archive, which means that the `mkdir /lib/modules` in the ubuntu-cpc 030-root-tarball.binary hook fails (therefore failing the entire build).

[Impact]

New xenial cloud images cannot be produced.

[Test Case]

Attempt a livefs build of the ubuntu-cpc project; it will fail without a fix, and pass with a fix.

[Regression Potential]

The fix is to modify the `mkdir` to `mkdir -p`, so the potential for regression is very low.

In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.
