 * Name: inode_unlink
 *
 * Description:
 *   Given a path, remove a the node from the in-memory, inode tree that the
 *   path refers to.  This is normally done in preparation to removing or
 *   moving an inode.
 *
 *   In symbolic links in the pseduo file system are enabled, then this
 *   logic will follow the symbolic links up until the terminal node.  Then
 *   that link in removed. So if this the terminal node is a symbolic link,
 *   the symbolic link node will be removed, not the target of the link.
 *
 * Assumptions/Limitations:
 *   The caller must hold the inode semaphore
