Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when we stat/mkdir during object put.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think we can preallocate to depth 2 right at fstree init (just a bit more than 3K directories). Theoretically depth 3 can be done in background, but maybe it's not worth it, needs to be tested. If we're to perform any background directory creation fstree config can be leveraged to mark tree as completely ready (allowing to avoid directory stat), see https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neofs-node/issues/2174#issuecomment-2939337843.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Things work as is.

Research direction

Start by locating fstree initialization and the object-put path that currently stats or creates directories. Evaluate depth-2 preallocation and whether deeper creation should run in the background, including the related fstree configuration behavior described in the linked discussion. Done means the chosen approach is implemented and its directory-creation behavior is tested.
