mnesia: don't delete log file on emfile error
If the VM runs into the process' file descriptor limit when mnesia tries to open (not create) a disk_log file, the open fails with an emfile error. Mnesia misinterprets this as a corrupt file, deletes it, tries to create a new empty disk_log file, which also fails. The end result is a corrupt database on disk. Check for emfile errors and error out immediately without deleting the file in those cases.
