Without the directory (this happens on the very first boot),
load_persist_props can't create an initial version of
/data/property/persistent_properties (probably empty). This leads to
persisting all in-memory "persist.*" properties later when a persistent
property is set. This is regression from Android S because persistent
props from, for example, build.prop will be persisted even when there's
no process to explicitly setprop.
Bug: 242264580
Test: launch cuttlefish and verify that there's no props from build.prop
