Create /srv/gitlab/tmp/backups dir to avoid errors from tar when skipping "db" and "repositories" during backup

Julius Kvedaras requested to merge fix-error-from-tar into master

What does this MR do?

When running kubectl exec -it gitlab-task-runner-6c8df5d59f-n4stg -- backup-utility --skip repositories --skip db --skip registry --skip external_diffs --skip terraform_state --skip uploads we get the below error:

juliuskvedaras@Juliuss-MBP:~/helm/CNG$ kubectl exec -it gitlab-task-runner-6c8df5d59f-n4stg -- backup-utility --skip repositories --skip db --skip registry --skip external_diffs --skip terraform_state --skip uploads

[Error] tar (child): /srv/gitlab/tmp/backups/lfs.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: /srv/gitlab/tmp/backups/lfs.tar.gz: Cannot write: Broken pipe
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Restore lfs failed
command terminated with exit code 1

We need to create /srv/gitlab/tmp/backups to void this error.
