From ebfc3b49a7ac25920cb5be5445f602e51d2ea559 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:05:36 -0400
Subject: don't pass nameidata to ->create()

boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead;
Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed
not to be there yet.
