[PATCH] uml: fix not_dead_yet when directory is in bad state

Browse source 
The bug occurred to me when a UML left an empty ~/.uml/Sarge-norm folder -
when trying to reuse not_dead_yet() failed one of its check.  The comment
says that's ok and means that we can take the directory, but while normally
not_dead_yet() removes it and returns 0 (i.e.  go on, use this), on failure
it returns 0 but forgets to remove it.  The fix is to remove it anytime
we're going to return 0.

But since "not_dead_yet" didn't make the interface so clear, causing this
bug, and I couldn't find a convenient name for the mix of things it did, I
split it into two parts:

is_umdir_used()      -	returns a boolean, contains all checks of not_dead_yet()
umdir_take_if_dead   -	tries to remove the dir unless it's used - returns
			whether it removed it, that is we now own it.

With this changes the control flow is IMHO a bit clearer and needs less
comment for control flow.
