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.

The witch is dead! Well, 2/3 of it, anyway. ->d_revalidate() and
->lookup() do *not* take struct nameidata anymore; just the flags.
