/* ocreate works like the Plan 9 create(2) syscall, but with different races.
* In Plan 9 there is a race due to the different behaviour between the
* create syscall and the Tcreate message in 9P2000 when the file already exists:
* see https://github.com/brho/plan9/blob/master/sys/src/9/port/chan.c#L1564-L1603
* for details.
*
* In Jehanne the create syscall fails on existing files just like the Tcreate message.
* However the Plan 9/UNIX semantic is often useful, thus ocreate mimic it in userspace.
* As wisely noted by Charles Forsyth, such implementation introduce a different race
* due to the multiple evaluations of the path: on concurrent namespace changes, the
* different syscalls here could be handled by different devices/fileservers.
* However, given the user is responsible of such namespace changes, we prefer this race
* to the original Plan 9 one.
*
* For more info see http://marc.info/?t=146412533100003&r=1&w=2
