David Woodhouse f85ba78068 tun: add IFF_TUN_EXCL flag to avoid opening a persistent device.
When creating a certain types of VPN, NetworkManager will first attempt
to find an available tun device by iterating through 'vpn%d' until it
finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent
and owned by the otherwise unprivileged user that the VPN dæmon itself
runs as.

There's a race condition here -- during the period where the vpn%d
device is created and we're waiting for the VPN dæmon to actually
connect and use it, if we try to create _another_ device we could end up
re-using the same one -- because trying to open it again doesn't get
-EBUSY as it would while it's _actually_ busy.

So solve this, we add an IFF_TUN_EXCL flag which causes tun_set_iff() to
fail if it would be opening an existing persistent tundevice -- so that
we can make sure we're getting an entirely _new_ device.
