virtiofsd: Fix data corruption with O_APPEND write in writeback mode

When writeback mode is enabled (-o writeback), O_APPEND handling is
done in kernel. Therefore virtiofsd clears O_APPEND flag when open.
Otherwise O_APPEND flag takes precedence over pwrite() and write
data may corrupt.

Currently clearing O_APPEND flag is done in lo_open(), but we also
need the same operation in lo_create(). So, factor out the flag
update operation in lo_open() to update_open_flags() and call it
in both lo_open() and lo_create().

This fixes the failure of xfstest generic/069 in writeback mode
(which tests O_APPEND write data integrity).
