Subject: [PATCH] swarm-ui: fix the stale refusal comment, guard the create
 dialog's submit, say what create another keeps

The refusal comment still described collapsed sections the dialog no longer
has. The form's submit now returns while a create is in flight. The docs say
create another keeps only the hive.
