ext2_unlink() seems to return EPERM if one attempts to unlink() a directory.
This seems a bit wrong, would not EISDIR be a better value? I know that root can sometimes unlink() directories, but even so I think EISDIR is better for non-root users.
POSIX.1 mandates that the error be EPERM if "the implementation prohibits using unlink() on directories".
