make build_open_flags() treat O_CREAT | O_EXCL as implying O_NOFOLLOW
O_CREAT | O_EXCL means "-EEXIST if we run into a trailing symlink". As it is, we might or might not have LOOKUP_FOLLOW in op->intent in that case - that depends upon having O_NOFOLLOW in open flags. It doesn't matter, since we won't be checking it in that case - do_last() bails out earlier. However, making sure it's not set (i.e. acting as if we had an explicit O_NOFOLLOW) makes the behaviour more explicit and allows to reorder the check for O_CREAT | O_EXCL in do_last() with the call of step_into() immediately following it.
