Subject: [PATCH] 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".
Remove the floppy-specific handling and let the generic bdev code O_EXCL
handling take over.
