bugfixes:
  - file module - Fix error when recursively assigning permissions and
    a symlink to a nonexistent file is present in the directory tree
    (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39456)
Fix for file module with recursive permission setting and broken symlinks There was a traceback when setting permissions on a directory tree when there were broken symlinks inside of the tree and follow=true. chmod -R ignores broken symlinks inside of the tree so we've fixed the file module to do the same.
