Subject: [PATCH 1/2] vboxsf: Honor excl flag to the dir-inode create op

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.

Fixes 0fd169576648 ("fs: Add VirtualBox guest shared folder (vboxsf) support")
