VFS: DiOS fails to boot when capturing an absolute path

Description

Hello,
the following command makes DiOS crash while booting:

divine check --capture /[abs_path]/ main.c

where main.c is an arbitrary C source file and the size of given directory is lower than the VFS capture limit. This issue occurs only with absolute paths of length 2 or more, e.g. path /dir1/ is ok, but path /dir1/dir2/.../dirn/ is not.
Thanks!

Divine output:

Pretty much #31 -- the parent of the mount point must exist. The error message sucks, but I guess it doesn't make much sense to fix that until we figure out what --capture should actually do. It'd be helpful if you could comment in #31 what would you like/expect --capture semantics to be. I'll probably get to implementing something soon, because this keeps biting people and it's not a big change.
