vfs: make unlink() and rmdir() return ENOENT in preference to EROFS

If user space attempts to remove a non-existent file or directory, and
the file system is mounted read-only, return ENOENT instead of EROFS.
Either error code is arguably valid/correct, but ENOENT is a more
specific error message.
