fd_flags only contains file descriptor flags (meaning only O_CLOEXEC).
O_EXCL is a file creation flag, so setting it here wouldn't make sense.
Setting file status flags like O_APPEND does make sense, but those are
stored in the `struct file` and don't need to be passed separately;
the caller can e.g. set them via fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, flags) or on
open().
(The fcntl.2 manpage explains these.)
