Use the ensuredir() function consistently across Sphinx code to avoid race conditions e.g. when multiple Sphinx instances attempt to create the same output directory. The ensuredir() function that was already present in sphinx.util.osutil correctly catches EEXIST exception that occurs if the specified directory already exists (i.e. it was created between the call to os.path.isdir() and os.makedirs() that follows it). While at it, remove redundant os.path.isdir() calls when they only guarded the os.makedirs() call, and replace mkdir_p() which had pretty much the same purpose, except for being prone to race conditions. I did not modify testing-related code as race conditions mostly affect real applications and not the test environment. Fix #4281: Race conditions when creating output directory
