This has two different return value conventions (my fault, I know): it returns -1 for ENOENT when err == NULL but 0 for ENOENT when not. The usual reason to call unlink_or_warn / remove_or_warn is to be silent about ENOENT so it seems simplest to fix them at the same time, as below. The only callers that could mind:

 * unpack-trees.c::unlink_entry, where this would be fixing a minor bug
 * builtin/apply.c::remove_file, likewise
 * delete_ref_loose, which checks errno so this should have no effect there
