commit cc3ddee97cff034cea4d095de4a484c92a219bf5 upstream
Honor the excl flag to the dir-inode create op, instead of behaving
as if it is always set.
Note the old behavior still worked most of the time since a non-exclusive
open only calls the create op, if there is a race and the file is created
between the dentry lookup and the calling of the create call.
While at it change the type of the is_dir parameter to the
vboxsf_dir_create() helper from an int to a bool, to be consistent with
the use of bool for the excl parameter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
