Some operations may call unlink() on an open fd, then call fchown/fchmod/fstat on that fd. This would currently readd its entry to the database, which is necessary to preserve its permissions information however since that file will be lost when it is closed, we don't want the DB entry to persist. Marking it as may_unlink means the code will know its likely been deleted and ignore the entry later, giving improved behaviour that simple path mismatch warnings. We can use an nlink of zero to detect this.
