libxl: Fix error handling in libxl_userdata_unlink

Previously:
  * rc would not be set before leaving the function, with the
    result that an uninitialised value would be returned
  * failures of libxl__userdata_path would result in a NULL dereference
  * failures of unlink() would not be usefully logged

This appears to be due to an attempt to avoid having to repeat the
call to libxl__unlock_domain_userdata by informally sharing parts of
the success and failure paths.

Change to use the canonical error-handling style:
  * Initialise lock to 0.
  * Do the unlock in the `out' section - always attempt to unlock
    lock if it is non-0.
  * Explicitly set rc and `goto out' on all error paths, even
    those right at the end of the function.
  * Add an error check for filename = libxl__userdata_path(...);
