vpn-config: Ignore IN_CREATE as IN_MODIFY is called anyway

Inotify will send modify event after create event when user has
copied the config file into config directory. Because of this
it is useless to act on create event. As a bonus we avoid
create/modify/create loop that was earlier done in the modify event
handling code.
