It might have been programmer luck but just for completeness, at
runtime no luck was needed (the temporary setting to ENOENT is undoed
before the if clause is closed). Your addition is surely safer just in
case of future changes missing how we inherited the EINVAL in both
branches, thanks! (plus the compiler should be able to optimize it
away until after it will be needed)
