This is just a preparation for the move of the main unlinkat logic to a
separate function to make the logic easier to follow. This change
contains the flow changes so that the actual change to move the main
logic to a separate function does no change the flow at all.
Just like the similar patch for rmdir a few commits before, there are
two changes here:
1. Previously on filename_parentat() error the function used to exit
immediately, and now it will check the return code to see if ESTALE
retry is appropriate. The filename_parentat() does its own retries on
ESTALE, but this extra check should be completely fine.
2. The retry_estale() check is wrapped in unlikely(). Some other places
already have that and overall it seems to make sense.
