Since ce8644fcadc5 ("lookup_open(): expand the call of vfs_create()"),
the "excl" argument to the ->create() inode_operation is always set to
true. Remove it, and fix up all of the create implementations.

The latest directory delegation patchset has a patch in it to clean up
the arguments for vfs_create() [1]. If that looks sane, then I think
this would be the next logical step.

Full disclosure: I did use claude code to generate the first
approximation, but I had to fix a number of things that it missed.  I
probably could have given it better prompts. In any case, I'm not sure
how to properly attribute this (or if I even need to).
