Details:

In the ftsfind, the ignore_readdir_race is not considered when the file goes
missing.  Please refer to the following fix for the issue and how this patch
was tested:

    find: make -delete honour the -ignore_readdir_race option
    
    * find/pred.c (pred_delete): Return true when the -ignore_readdir_race
    option is active and unlinkat() came back with ENOENT.
    * doc/find.texi (Option -ignore_readdir_race): Document the change.
    (Action -delete): Likewise.
    * find/find.1: Likewise.
    * NEWS (Bug Fixes): Mention the fix.
    
    For now, it seems a bit hard to add a proper test for this,
    so the following shell snippet demonstrates the race:
    
      $ seq 10 | xargs touch
      $ env time -f 'find exit status: %x\nfind time: %e' \
          find -ignore_readdir_race -type f \
            -delete \
            -exec sh -c 'sleep $(basename {})' \; \
            -printf 'find deleted: %p\n' \
            & \
        sleep 20; \
        seq 10 | xargs rm -fv; \
        wait $!
