Testing shows that the EBUSY error return from mtree_alloc_cyclic()
leaks into user space. The ERRORS section of "man creat(2)" says:

>	EBUSY	O_EXCL was specified in flags and pathname refers
>		to a block device that is in use by the system

ENOSPC is closer to what applications expect in this situation.

Note that the normal range of simple directory offset values is
2..2^63, so hitting this error is going to be rare to impossible.
