    tools/xenstore: fix deleting node in transaction
    
    In case a node has been created in a transaction and it is later
    deleted in the same transaction, the transaction will be terminated
    with an error.
    
    As this error is encountered only when handling the deleted node at
    transaction finalization, the transaction will have been performed
    partially and without updating the accounting information. This will
    enable a malicious guest to create arbitrary number of nodes.
    
    This is part of XSA-421 / CVE-2022-42325.
