[PATCH v5 03/14] VFS: tidy up do_unlinkat()

[NeilBrown <neilb@ownmail.net>]

From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>

The simplification of locking in the previous patch opens up some room
for tidying up do_unlinkat()

- change all "exit" labels to describe what will happen at the label.
- always goto an exit label on an error - unwrap the "if (!IS_ERR())" branch.
- Move the "slashes" handing inline, but mark it as unlikely()
- simplify use of the "inode" variable - we no longer need to test for NULL.
