Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/144

Example: my ~/.cache/mozilla directory is a link to ~/Private/.cache/mozilla.
Whitelisting ~/.cache/mozilla correctly whitelists ~/Private/.cache/mozilla and creates the parent folders, but the symlink itself fails because its parent folder doesn't exist.

I've already fixed this myself, so I will submit a pull request soon.
