[PATCH] nfsd: Make creates return EEXIST correctly instead of EPERM

[Oleg Drokin]

It looks like we are bit overzealous about failing mkdir/create/mknod
with permission denied if the parent dir is not writeable.
Need to make sure the name does not exist first, because we need to
return EEXIST in that case.

A very similar problem exists with symlinks, but the patch is more
involved, so assuming this one is ok, I'll send a symlink one separately.
