floppy: remove floppy-specific O_EXCL handling
Block layer now handles O_EXCL in a generic way for block devices. The semantics is however different for floppy and all other block devices, as floppy driver contains its own O_EXCL handling. The semantics for all-but-floppy bdevs is "there can be at most one O_EXCL open of this file", while for floppy bdev the semantics is "if someone has the bdev open with O_EXCL, noone else can open it". There is actual userspace-observable change in behavior because of this since commit e525fd89d380c ("block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access") -- on kernels containing this commit, mount of /dev/fd0 causes the fd0 block device be claimed with _EXCL, preventing subsequent open(/dev/fd0). Bring things back into shape, i.e. make it possible, analogically to other block devices, to mount the floppy and open() it afterwards -- remove the floppy-specific handling and let the generic bdev code O_EXCL handling take over.
