VFS: discard err2 in filename_create()

Since 204a575e91f3 "VFS: add common error checks to lookup_one_qstr_excl()"
filename_create() does not need to stash the error value from mnt_want_write()
into a separate variable - the logic that used to clobber 'error' after the
call of mnt_want_write() has migrated into lookup_one_qstr_excl().

So there is no need for two different err variables.
This patch discards "err2" and uses "error' throughout.
