Here is the backport along with cc3ddee97cff ("vboxsf: Honor excl flag
to the dir-inode create op") which was also in another failed mail.

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.

commit ab0c29687bc7a890d1a86ac376b0b0fd78b2d9b6 upstream

Make vboxsf_dir_create() optionally return the vboxsf-handle for
the created file. This is a preparation patch for adding atomic_open
support.
