Btw, I wonder if you should micro-optimize things a bit further by
moving the unhashed checks from the deletion functions into the callers
and thus save a function call for each of them.

If the caller is in the same file modern gcc is able to do that automatically
if you're lucky enough ("partial inlining")

I would not uglify the code for it.

Depending on how you look at it the code might actually be a tad
cleaner.  One of called functions is outside of inode.c.
