unlink(nonexistent): EROFS or ENOENT?

Hello.

Just noticed that at least on ext4, unlinking a
non-existing file from a read-only filesystem
results in EROFS instead of ENOENT. I'd expect
it return ENOENT - it is more logical, at least
in my opinion.

For one, (readonly) NFS mount returns ENOENT in
this case.

Thanks!
