Subject: 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.
