[PATCH v1] posix: Only check shm_unlink obj_err if necessary

In the nominal case checked by spsysinit01, obj_err is unmodified if
_POSIX_Shm_Get_by_name returns non-NULL. In the case of shm_unlink, this means
an uninitialized value is passed into the switch and it appears tests using it
were passing by virtue of the stack having the right value on it in most cases.
This now checks obj_err only if _POSIX_Shm_Get_by_name returns NULL.

Close #4016
