    tools/xenstore: don't let remove_child_entry() call corrupt()
    
    In case of write_node() returning an error, remove_child_entry() will
    call corrupt() today. This could result in an endless recursion, as
    remove_child_entry() is called by corrupt(), too:
    
    corrupt()
      check_store()
        check_store_()
          remove_child_entry()
    
    Fix that by letting remove_child_entry() return an error instead and
    let the caller decide what to do.
    
    This is part of XSA-418 / CVE-2022-42321.
