fix(cmdline): don't redraw 'tabline' in Ex mode (#24123)

Redrawing of 'statusline' and 'winbar' are actually already inhibited by
RedawingDisabled in Ex mode.

In Vim there is a check for `msg_scrolled == 0` (which is false in Ex
mode) since Vim doesn't have msgsep. Add a `!exmode_active` check here
in Nvim instead.
