fs: export may_create() as may_create_dentry()

For many years btrfs as been using a copy of may_create() in
fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:btrfs_may_create(). Everytime may_create() is updated we
need to update the btrfs copy, and this is a maintenance burden. Currently
there are minor differences between both because the btrfs side lacks
updates done in may_create().

Export may_create() so that btrfs can use it and with the less generic
name may_create_dentry().
