Race conditions in file creation in 2.3.

With the 2.3.16 tree doing

cp -vrf /usr/bin /mnt & cp -vrf /usr/bin /mnt & cp -vrf /usr/bin /mnt

produces large numbers of file not found errors in response to create. It
looks like two people creating a file at once causes a bogus
error on one of the openers.
