    Log Message:
    game_lobby: ownership-scoped create-lock release + ensure games dir first

    Review fixes on the create-lock added in 6669aa7e72: acquire_create_lock()
    now ensures the games dir exists before file_mutex() (fresh install had no
    dir to lock into), and release_create_lock() only removes a lock this node wrote (read back the owner tag file_mutex stored, compare, then remove) so
    the mp_create()/mp_wait_for_game() safety-net release can't yank a different node's later lock that reused the same fixed path. Also corrects the module header comment, which claimed the whole file was UI-free -- the multiplayer_flow/mp_* helpers prompt via console/bbs and are the interactive exception.
